Another Thing To Do With Postage Stamps Part II Of II

Continuing from the post on Friday…

Did you know that one of the hottest new trends is to make postage stamps into jewelry? There are several ways to make the jewelry and I must say that each piece was quite impressive when it is complete. Necklaces, earrings, pins and pendants are the most popular pieces that you will find. These products are not mass produced and as a result, these one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry are making a huge hit at craft shows and online stores.

Postage stamps are also being made into jewelry boxes. From the pictures that I have seen, the stamps look as if they are carefully applied to beautiful wooden boxes with some sort of varnish. They make a beautiful one-of-a-kind box for jewelry or trinkets.

A jewelry store in Kansas City is manufacturing custom postage stamp jewelry of their own. Their line of cuff links feature authentic older postage stamps from around the world. According to The Star in Kansas City, “the stamp selections cover US and world history, art, music, politics, inventions, wildlife, and of course...sports!” Each set of cuff links arrives in a gift box with a label on the bottom identifying what country the stamp came from, date of issue and some important tid-bits about the stamp that is featured.

All of these pieces of postage stamp jewelry would be a fun way to show your love of stamp collecting.
