Singleton Jewels

I keep these earrings - without their match - because . . .

After several years and a move to a new house in a new city I’m hoping to find it’s pair.

Because it’s dear to me and extremely expensive? (It’s mostly cheap crap from Claire’s Boutique.)

There’s one lapis earring up there that I liked so much I actually wore it (at least twice) with a different earring hoping to bring back that asymmetrical fashion of the 80s. I lost its pair around 2001.

Perhaps I’ve internalized my grandparents’ depression-era “waste not, want not” philosophy a little to deeply?

I wonder if Joshua over at Junk Creation can do something cool with a bunch of broken and matchless jewelry.
