Why I love so much vintage jewelry?

Vintage jewelry pieces are generally made of heavier materials that last. I love the quality, because, in general, they are extremely well-made, especially designer pieces, like Trifari, Coro (my favorites!). However, there are great vintage jewelry pieces unmarked or unsigned with a fabulous design.


Vintage jewelry pieces are rare, unique or exist in small quantities. And I like to be unique, to stand up from the crowd. That´s how I am and who I am. I hate to bump with a girl using the same necklace! It happened once and I felt very uncomfortable, although I thought: "Nice taste!" 

Authenticity is also important. I rarely use reproductions. I like items that carry a small piece of History and a part of someone else's history. I feel so special when I wear something from my mum or my grandmother!

And, of course, I choose items that fit my character. I love the late Fifhties, and the Sixties! In 3 words: Mad Men Style! 

I love the idea that anything old can be new. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle! The 3 R´s in fashion means to have an EcoChic attitude!

So, wearing vintage jewelry is definitely to make daily a  fashion statement and a pleasure!

Modelitos Mad Men

Mad Men é uma das séries do momento. Um sucesso que se deve, sobretudo, ao retrato fiel da América do início dos anos 60, ainda sob forte influência da década de 50. As mulheres começam a ganhar independência, calmantes e anticoncepcionais estão na boca de todo mundo, os males do tabaco e as políticas contra o assédio sexual eram impensáveis...coisas do futuro!.

E não há série de época sem modelitos!

Betty Draper, personagem interpretada por January Jones, é uma princesinha suburbana, a imagem da dona de casa perfeita com ar de Grace Kelly. Uma lady com os seus vestidos rodados, batom vermelho, sapatos altos e as fantásticas pérolas!
Mas a minha preferida é a curvilínea Joan Holloway (Christina Hendricks), com os seus vestido e saias lápis,
marcam bastante a sua cintura e seu quadril, e os acessórios, mais precisamente: os alfinetes!


Simplesmente fantástico!
