Grandma Bette’s Jewelry Sale: A Sparkling Tribute

If you’ve ever wondered where I got my creative spark, the answer is simple: my Grandma Bette. 💖

Elizabeth Schuler—Bette, for short—had a lifelong passion for creativity. She was the kind of woman who could untangle a mess of chains with patience and grace, breathe new life into forgotten treasures, and find joy in the details. Her love for vintage costume jewelry wasn’t just a hobby—it was a heartfelt practice rooted in generosity and joy.

A Legacy of Love, Creativity, and Community

For years, Grandma Bette lovingly collected, cleaned, repaired, and organized vintage costume jewelry. She would purchase it in bulk and spend her days untangling chains, replacing clasps, and preparing pieces for resale. These weren’t for her own collection—she hosted jewelry sales to raise money for local charities, always finding a way to give back.

Even after she could no longer do the repairs herself, she never stopped sorting, organizing, and enjoying the jewelry. In fact, she worked with her beloved collection every single day until she passed away at 101 years old.

A Tradition We Shared

When I was younger, visiting Grandma Bette meant afternoons spent sitting together, sorting through boxes of jewelry. She’d pull out her favorites and let me choose mine. I’d try my best to help untangle the chains—but when I gave up, she wouldn’t. The next morning, without fail, that impossible knot would be beautifully laid out and ready to shine.

In her later years, whenever I called her, the conversation would start the same way:
“Hi hun! Are you finally ready to take over the jewelry business?!”

Well… this weekend, I’m honored to say yes.
