Nice Jade Jewelry
Be Jeweled is the name of a unique festival of wearables in the central Oregon coast town of Newport, one where a host of different, one-of-a-kind jewelry items are the center of attention. It happens February 11 – just in time to shop for something truly individualistic for Valentine’s Day.Be Jeweled is a once-a-year vintage, fine, ethnic and costume jewelry sale for Food Share of Lincoln County. All items are donated by the community and all proceeds help feed hungry families. This time around it happens at the Shilo Inn in Newport, from from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.“More space to park and more room to shop,” said Linda Neigebaurer of Nye Cottage Beads. She is also helping to organize the
event.Over 5,000 items are up for sale – and all stuff you’re not likely to find anywhere else. Discover vintage pins, earrings, pendants, ethnic jewelry, jade, pearls, colored gemstones of bright colors, fine jewelry of silver and gold, Native American items, abalone pieces from New Zealand, and numerous tables of earrings both pierced and clip-on.For an even more unique slant, a special table hosts components for jewelers and artists looking to make their own pieces.
