    I know what you mean, Terrie. If you figure out a good way to sell
    off old pieces, please share-- I have some inherited pieces, quite
    old, lots of diamonds and pearls. Not my style, nor that of my
    daughters, but too nice to pillage for stones. 

    As for how old is vintage, in clothing it seems to be over about 30
    years. I'm guessing there is no hard and fast definition, but maybe
    somebody else knows better.
