How to select vintage jewelry trends

Vintage is back in style, from pearl earrings to lacy engagement rings. There are plenty of ways implement this trend into your wardrobe, no matter what type of jewelry you like to wear. Let the looks of eras past inspire your next purchase. Take a look at your favorite fashion eras for inspiration for a vintage jewelry item.

Earring elegance

One way to add some vintage flare to your look is by choosing classic earrings. These pieces should feature intricate metal work, a dusting of diamonds and maybe a few hand-selected pearls. For example, Pearls No. 3 incorporates pave-set baguette diamonds in a sweeping metal that holds a set of pearls. This timeless set is sure to pair well with your flared a-line dress and a set of pumps.

Necklace finesse

Choose the proper necklace to fit in with the vintage jewelry trends. Each era will have differences, but if you don't have a preference, detailed pieces are the way to go. Floral designs or halo settings are especially appropriate. For inspiration for a custom jewelry piece, investigate jewelry worn by your favorite classic film stars like Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor or Joan Crawford. These leading ladies all sported some of the top trends of their time.

Romantic rings

If you're planning to pop the question to someone who loves the retro look, take some time to peruse the new Lace Collection from the Brian Gavin team. These solitaire engagement rings evoke the feel of one the most iconic vintage motifs: lace. The crisscrossing metal work paired with diamonds give the ring a soft, delicate appearance. These rings have the Le Fleur four-prong setting that can fit a round or cushion cut diamond.

Once she has said yes, pair the engagement ring with a matching wedding band. These come with a choice of gemstones to add color to the design. For a truly unique bride, pick fancy colored diamonds for the engagement ring that will pair with the band.
