Bonanzle.com is where we sell vintage jewelry!

Jewelry is an expression of ourselves! Jewelry in its most basic form has been used since Adam and Eve.

Mollusk shell jewelry was discovered in a cave in Blombos, South Africa, and dates back to the Middle Stone Age 75,000 to 100,000 years ago.

The word "jewelry" is derived from the Latin word jocale, meaning "plaything," and the word jewel, which was anglicised during the 13th century from the Old French word "jouel." The word "jewelry"(spelled jewellery in European English) is used to describe any piece of precious material (gemstones, noble metals, etc.) used to adorn one's self.

The first jewelry was made from readily available natural materials including animal teeth, bone, various types of shells, carved stone and wood. It is believed that jewelry started out as a functional item used to fasten articles of clothing together, and was later adapted for use as an object for purely aesthetic ornamentation, or for use as a spiritual and religious symbol.

As mankind progressed, jewelry was used as a symbol of wealth and status, as well as to protect against harm, ward of evil, and heal ailments. Jewelry was used by early man to adorn nearly every part of the human body, and has been made out of almost every natural material known to mankind.

While our jewelry in our Bonanzle booth is not ancient, it reflects many of last century's designs, 50s-80s.

We are probably no different than most people. Except for the year we shopped early and loved it, wonder why we don't do it again! Just maybe, we'll do it again this year! Takes away alot of the stress during the holidays!

I try to shop the day after Thanksgiving if possible. It relieves tons of stress in December. However, sometimes that works on a alternate year basis... This year...Shop on!
