Old to Gold: Jewelry Swap in Tahoe

Refresh your accessories at a friendly jewelry swap in Tahoe that invites participants to trade pieces they no longer wear for new-to-you finds. Bring necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and more, whether broken, vintage, modern, or gently loved, and give them a second life. Asqqu Creations will introduce a Barter System that allows trades of unworn or redesign-ready items for a custom piece made just for the participant. The swap is hosted by Julie Garrett-Wright, owner of Asqqu Creations, a jewelry and functional art business that works with recycled materials and supports sustainability, community, and the arts, with experience hosting and attending clothing swaps as part of the Swap Society network. Attendees should bring a bag. Jewelry is accepted in any condition, while clothing and shoes must be clean and gently used. Undergarments are not accepted, and items intended solely as donations are not part of this swap. Any leftover pieces are saved for future events or donated to Vista Rise Collective and Christmas Cheer, with 460 pounds previously donated to Christmas Cheer and 46 pounds to Vista Rise Collective. Tickets enable a one-for-one exchange, and Swap Society members use a shopping pass for unlimited swapping at all locations with added perks. The first portion of the gathering is reserved for check in and mingling, swapping runs throughout, and wrap up begins about half an hour before the event ends, so arriving on time offers the best selection. A helpful tip for trying on clothing with comfort is to wear a form fitting tank top or shorts underneath. Held at Tahoe Clothing Swap.
