Vintage Jewelry Fundraiser Planned At Lockport Library

LOCKPORT, IL — Do you love vintage jewelry? The White Oak Library Foundation will host its first ever Bling Bling sale on Oct. 22 and Oct. 23 at the Lockport Branch Library, 121 E. Eighth St., in Lockport.

Shoppers will be able to choose from over 4,000 pieces of gently-used costume and vintage jewelry as well as dozens of evening bags, event organizers said. Most jewelry will be priced at $1 or $2.

While most of the jewelry is pre-owned, some pieces are still in the original packaging. If you are a jewelry maker, there are also jewelry bits and pieces available for as little as 25 cents each.

There is also some high-quality jewelry and vintage bags which will be sold for $20 to $200, event organizers said.

The sale will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Oct. 22 and from 1 to 4 p.m. on Oct. 23. The public is invited and admission is free.

"Buyers will certainly find an assortment of bling for accessorizing every day and dressy outfits. Actors and those dressing up for Halloween will be delighted with the eclectic mix of pieces – representing at least seven decades of fashion," event organizers said. "And, with the holidays approaching, there are so many charming trinkets for stocking stuffers and very special gifts."

All items in the sale were donated, and all proceeds of the sale will be used by the Foundation to benefit the Library.

Cash, credit, and debit cards will be accepted.
