68 year old rhinestone shoulder straps and belt

I hope I am in the right place. I have a pair of evening gown straps and matching belt that belonged to my mother. They are 68 years old. I have not idea what to do with them and hope someone can help me find a good home. I do have a picture of the belt. Please forgive me if I am doing something wrong here as this is not something I am used to doing. Thanks. Judy

Hi there Judy,
when you state they are 68 years old, then you must know the gown they were cut from ?
They look beautiful !
A jewelry artist would be interested in them, or , someone that does crafts.
They still sparkle, so, I think you will be able to find a home for them easy, right here on the vintage village.
Due to the bad storm, the activity here might be slower than usual, but, give it time, and I am sure you will receive more responses.
As for value, although they are beautiful, it is considered scrap, to be made into something else, so they can be enjoyed again.
So, just finding a good home for them is the right idea.
Best wishes, Linda
