Styling Vintage Jewelry for 2021 Trends

The words “vintage” and “antique” don’t excite everyone; in fact, we’ve gotten comments from the occasional skeptic about how pieces from other eras are “out of style,” “old,” or remind them of their grandma’s wardrobe. We say there’s no reason for a vintage or antique piece to be excluded from a trendy 2020s ensemble! We love to prove that vintage jewelry has a place in today’s trends with occasional photoshoots in outfits that are both trendy and vintage-inspired!  While we love to shop popular brands, we wouldn’t be true vintage-enthusiasts without relishing in the art of thrifting!

2y ago
Working with vintage jewelry isn’t just about cleaning up an old engagement ring and finding it a new owner. One of our most prevalent values as a business is sustainability, and we strive to work that into everything we do, including thinking of creative ways to transform a piece that we might not otherwise have a lot of use for in today’s day and age. Many antique pieces are slated by dealers to be melted down for their metal, and we hate to see that happen to such fascinating pieces of history! While there are many antique pieces of jewelry that we keep as close to their original state as p ..read more
