Collect costume or vintage jewelry. it is a fun and very rewarding hobby. especially when you can wear and show off your hobby. looking and exploring for nice pieces is fun too. it will take you to thrift stores, flea markets, used stores and estate sales to name a few. searching for signed vintage pieces can be difficult when you are required to read the minut markings on the back of the piece, after all it could be decades old. You need a loupe, 30x magnifier to see the marking on the back. But be sure to ask the price of the piece of jewelry from the seller before you pull out your loupe to inspect it. You'll be surprised how quick the price goes up when the seller realizes you know what your doing.
