The world of fashion today is filled with numerous styles and tastes. Locating vintage designer jewelry fashionably and well doesn’t take any special skill. It just requires an appreciation of the jewelry and knowing where to look. The term “vintage” doesn’t always have to mean “ancient,” though. In fact, anything older than 100 years is antique. But vintage is more about evoking a memorable time or era. Pieces from the 80s and 70s can be just as prized as pieces from older decades.
Certain fashions are timeless, no matter the age. It is in this way that we’ve come to treasure certain vintage items of jewelry. Pendant necklace and earring sets, mother-of-pearl brush and comb sets from a century ago – or even just two decades ago – are valuable items regardless of their jeweled content.
Vintage designer jewelry like cameo pendants or gold and silver brooches look appropriate on even the most modern of jackets or blouses. They have a timeless elegance and sense of style that even the youngest fashion maven would enjoy and appreciate. If you’re on the hunt for items like these, check out second-hand stores or even flea markets and garage sales. You’d be surprised at what you’d find. Read more... (519 words)

There are a myriad of different fashions and styles in today’s fashion world. Locating vintage designer jewelry can be a pleasing experience, both monetarily and from a taste perspective. When we hear “vintage,” we normally think of something old. It can also be something that’s not so old but which reminds us of a fun time. Technically, vintage can be as recent as the mid-80s and all of the 70s and older. This is as true of jewelry, for example, as it is of clothing. Some fine collectible pieces are as young as 25 years old.
