If you happen to frequent garage sales in search of jewelry, or precious metals, you might try asking the person having the garage sale if they have any broken jewelry they might like to sell. Often times when people are clearing out dresser draws, empting jewelry boxes looking for jewelry pieces to sell they don’t consider putting out the broken or mismatch accessory pieces; things they have come to consider of No, or Less, value which in the collector’s case (You) just might still be worth something! So if you collect jewelry take the time to ask if there is any mismatch or broken jewelry pieces, or at lease let the person having the garage sale know that you are also interested in any imperfect items of jewelry they may have. You might be surprised at what you’ll find and I think even if you don’t see anything of interest, at least you get to see a little more of any jewelry the garage sale seller was willing to get rid of.
