Vintage style , based on the revival of the fashion of previous eras and generations, is increasingly used in the design of modern clothing and accessories. The first popularity, the so-called old things, came to us from the West in the early 90's. Fans of vintage things have always been famous Hollywood stars: Julia Roberts, Kate Moss and others. Today, an ardent fan of vintage is the first lady of the USA - Michelle Obama. The secret of this success of the vintage style can be explained by the desire of many to look not only stylishly, but also exclusively - old things that have survived until our time, usually remain in a single copy.
Vintage jewelry today - a real treasure. Many of the "old" jewelry are much more expensive than modern jewelry with real stones and diamonds. First of all, buyers pay for the history associated with them.
The history of the appearance of the first jewelry
The first popularity of costume jewelry came in the 20s of the last century during the Great Depression. At that time, even members of eminent families could not afford to buy gold and diamonds.
Coco Chanel was the first to show how beautiful it is to wear jewelry. She preferred to use it in her image in the afternoon, but in the evening she still liked to wear diamonds and expensive jewelry.
In the same period, in 1926, America opened the first store, known today to the whole world, handmade jewelry Miriam Haskell.
Instead of expensive jewelry, costume jewelry began to be put on the shooting of motion pictures of popular actresses. In the 30s, Americans actively imitated Audrey Hepburn and Vivien Leigh - it was a real boom of inexpensive jewelry. The cost of jewelry began to make such famous companies as Dior, ZHivanshi, Lacroix - they all began to produce bright beautiful beads, clips, pendants and brooches.
What costume jewelry refers to the style of vintage?
Belonging to the vintage style of decoration is determined by its age. Vintage is a thing created at least 30 years ago. Bijouterie, which is not more than 15 years old, refers to modern fashion. Anything older than 60 years old is antiques, although many designers call it retro jewelry.
Old retro jewelry is so popular today that modern designers create whole collections in the style of the 30s of the 20th century. Vivid example of Orient Express from the jewelry brand Style Avenue. Also, the jewelers of this company created a whole collection in the style of vintage.
Bijouterie from porcelain - a fashion trend of the current year
Ornaments that were particularly popular in the Middle Ages are back in fashion. The unique porcelain costume jewelry is incomparable - delicate, refined, as if woven from air and flowers. It looks very natural and perfectly emphasizes natural femininity and beauty.
On the Internet today there are many shops of ornaments from cold hand-made porcelain. Make a beautiful ring or earrings you can even yourself, taking advantage of the master class. To achieve the desired shade, the addition of food coloring to the solution will help. You can make a painting of the finished product with acrylic paints.
Amazing jewelry from pieces of broken porcelain created by the Italian designer Mariella di Gregorio. Multicolored fragments, decorated with gold and other valuable alloys, are joined in original necklaces, rings, earrings mainly with floral motifs. These jewelry, of course, can hardly be called a simple costume jewelry, rather it is a full-fledged jewelry, in addition, and not a small price - about 700-1000 dollars.
