In the age of globalization, large brands and world trade networks, vintage jewelry and clothing remain almost the only way to look unique. And the work of famous photographers and filmmakers only spur a desire to try on something from the grandmother's chest.
What is vintage jewelry
The vintage includes jewelery made from the beginning to the 60s of the twentieth century, conveying the spirit of the time and being typical of its era. These are long chains “in bronze” in the spirit of the 20s, and decorative collars from the 30s, and large ornaments from the 50s. If you are unlucky, and the grandmother has not left an inheritance, then the original vintage can be safely replaced with modern imitation, it is only better if it is made of the same materials that were used during the creation of the original (nickel silver, bone, bakelite). So the decoration will look more natural and harmonious.
Brooches and cameos
The easiest way to revive your outfit with a small brooch. Moreover, in addition to the usual brooches with stones or "glass", you should look at cameos - stones with carved bas-relief in an elegant frame.
Bracelets
Vintage bracelets are usually thick or stacked, with stones or colored glass, sometimes connected to a ring by a chain.
Beads, pendants and collars
Vintage beads and necklaces are very diverse: here there are thin chains with an enamel pendant, and multi-layered strands of pearls, and extravagant necklaces. The brighter and more unusual such decoration, the more restrained the rest should be.
Earrings
Vintage earrings can be discreet, with one large stone, but more often they are elegant jewelry with floral motifs and a variety of pendants.
What is the combination of vintage jewelry
Best of all vintage jewelry combined with:
- clothes in the same style
- minimalistic things against which they look especially bright,
- It is emphasized with modern clothes, for example, with jeans or "torn" knitwear, as a contrasting element.
It is best to have a plain fabric or leather as a background for such an unusual decoration. It is not necessary to combine vintage jewelry with a different jewelry, maximum - with low-key jewelery, better designed in the spirit of the same era.
