Vintage is Always in Style

I’ve never been one to wear a lot of jewelry but I do enjoy wearing one or two pieces when I’m going out for dinner or to a party. Diamonds don’t catch my eye nearly as much as cameo lockets and rings do. There’s just something familiar about vintage jewelry that makes me feel special.

This type of jewelry can be difficult to find unless you settle for the costume type. I much rather spend the money on authentic cameo rings rather than pay less for cheap look-alikes. I have a rather extensive collection that I treasure and only wear on special occasions.

I guess I’m just picky when it comes to certain items; it’s not just my jewelry that I like in vintage as I’m rather fond of many antique type items you can’t get just anywhere. I recently paid a rather nice sum of money for a vintage classic pocket watch that I gave my father for his birthday. It dated back to the early 19th century and was in wonderful condition. I thought of having something inscribed on it but feared it would hurt its value. My father was very pleased with the piece and displays it proudly.

Over the years I have looked for out of the ordinary items to give as Christmas gifts. I feel that they mean more to the person they are given to if you put some effort into finding just the right gift for them. Where most people look to give the newest technology I, however, like to bring back the past.

My daughter has carried on my taste for unique jewelry as she owns several pieces of nature leaf jewelry that are one-of-a-kind items. She gets it honest from me; I guess all those years that I took her shopping with me rubbed off.

A True Birthday Gift

My first granddaughter was born last month and I felt the very strong desire to begin a tradition that I hope gets passed down for many generations to come. On the day of her birth I presented a set of cameo rings; one for my granddaughter and one for my daughter-in-law. I also bought an identical one for me to wear.

As I get older I have grown very fond of the old, vintage lockets and jewelry that you might find in antique stores. I’ve collected a great deal of it in the past few years and it has gone up in value. I don’t wear most of the pieces I’ve acquired; I keep them in a display case just to show them off. I will pass them down to my children and hopefully they will, in turn, pass them down as well.

I have found a great deal of the pieces I own from online specialty stores. The great thing about the store I use most often is if I am looking for a particular piece I can let them know and they will try to find it for me. I acquired three vintage pocket watches that way and I’d probably still be looking for them if it weren’t for the good people I shop with online.

It’s important to know what you are looking for when purchasing pieces such as antique or vintage lockets, rings, or watches. It is best to do some research on what to look for when buying such items; there are plenty of fakes out there but one can easily spot them if you know what to look for. I’m very pleased with the cameo rings I bought for my granddaughter, her mom, and myself. I think it is traditions like this that will last for many, many years to come.

Jewelry for a Wedding

Planning a wedding can be very stressful and hectic. When my daughter announced that she had gotten engaged over the Christmas holiday, my husband and I were excited. She had been dating her fiancé for the past few years and was thankful to have him as a son-in-law. Now, the work began on putting a wedding together.

My daughter and I spent many weekends with her maid of honor picking out a caterer, flowers, cake and a wedding dress. This was no small wedding that we were planning! Every time I turned around, there were more things to do as the big day approached.

Three weeks before the wedding, my daughter realized that she had forgotten to get the groomsmen and the bridesmaids gifts. This was going to be a problem unless we did something quick. As I started to panic about the gifts, my daughter quickly reminded me about the jewelry I had gotten her for Christmas. This was a great idea. The same place carried quality wholesale gifts that I knew her wedding party would actually like.

My daughter had me order pocket watches for the groomsmen. I thought this was a great and unique idea. Not only were they unusual, they would look wonderful when worn with their tuxes. I also knew that none of the grooms men owned one. This was a perfect idea and the guys would look so dapper with a pocket watch!

She wanted me to purchase cameo rings for the bridesmaids. Not only are these rings elegant, they look like an antique piece of jewelry that was a family heirloom. My daughter also reminded me that the girls could wear them with anything from a cocktail dress or with a pair of jeans and sneakers.

By ordering her wholesale jewelry for their wedding party, they saved money on their gifts. Since they saved so much money on gifts, they were able to rent a limo for the bridal party. The day of the wedding, the bridal party was excited to be able to ride in the same car with my daughter and her new husband to the reception.

The gifts were a big hit. We have now decided when our other daughter gets married that we will use this site again for holiday gifts.

Vintage-Inspired Jewelry Adds Style

It is the beginning of a new year and many of us like to make a fresh start -- especially when it comes to the wardrobe! A good way to get a new look in your wardrobe is by accessorizing with new jewelry. A few good pieces of vintage-inspired jewelry can add style to just about any wardrobe. With styles constantly changing and many of us looking for economical ways to enhance our wardrobe without breaking the bank, vintage-inspired jewelry is a great place to start. This jewelry has classic style that is always in fashion.

Purchasing antique-inspired jewelry has helped me to add many pieces to my wardrobe. I have purchased many different lockets in order to help me change my look in jewelry on a daily basis. With the inexpensive prices I can now afford to have many different looks in lockets and cameo rings. I have everything from vintage lockets to cameo lockets and am always complimented on how great they look when I wear them with a black pantsuit.

Wearing this type of jewelry with many of my outfits really makes them look complete and pulled together. I can also use specific pieces of jewelry to complement many colors of clothing in my wardrobe. For instance, I love to wear one of my cameo lockets that is in blue with a winter white dress. This really makes both of them pop and gets me lots of compliments when I am out with my girlfriends.

Adding a few pieces of antique-styled jewelry to my wardrobe has enabled me to come up with many more options with my wardrobe. One of my favorite things to do with the jewelry is to wear one piece to the office and then put on a few more pieces to really dress up an outfit to go from day to evening wear without having to change clothes.

Since wearing the lockets, it has helped me to update my current wardrobe. By adding those special touches with this type of jewelry has helped me to achieve a classic style. I know that this jewelry is never going to go out of style when trend change. This has already saved me money with out having to purchase those trending pieces that you can only wear for certain seasons. This type of jewelry never goes out of style, especially the cameo rings and lockets.
