Leslie Krukowski, Black Dog Vintage, LLC
Join us as Leslie Krukowski takes us through a brief history of costume jewelry, dating back to the 1700s. She will also bring in some of her personal vintage pieces and explain the process and tools she uses to identify and date costume jewelry. Attendees are invited to bring one or two of their own pieces of costume jewelry to have them evaluated by Leslie in front of the entire group. Leslie Krukowski grew up in Southfield and has always been interested in vintage jewelry and clothing. In high school, she used to buy vintage ‘50s dresses and wear them with denim jackets decorated with vintage brooches. (She was THAT kid!) Over the years, her collections have grown and she buys and sells online. This past year, she took an early retirement to pursue her love for vintage jewelry, full time.
