Can we just say, for the record, that vintage jewelry is so much better than about 80% of the current jewelry lines out right now?
That's right, Cartier. I'm talking to you and all your homies. I love all the vintage goods from the faux gold to the gold filled. Ornate oxidized metals and semiprecious stones cradled in heirloom-like settings. Gorgeous.
When searching for that perfect battered bling, remember a few things:
- Different types of chains Play around with different textures and metals. Try pairing heavy chains with thin, dainty ones or cross linked necklaces with braided chains. A variety will add a little flavor to your find.
- Stones and jewels Mixing semiprecious stones with pearls can put a rock-n-roll vibe on your ladylike piece. Try experimenting with complementing colors and shapes.
