pearl jewelry wholesale

Those buttoned-up, corseted-tight, gloved-to-the-elbows lovely ladies of days gone by were certainly on their best behavior which is why they must have felt the need to express themselves through their eye-catching and elaborate jewelry designs of the time. Today that wild abandon for unusual and eyebrow-raising jewelry translates beautifully into today’s desire for more exotic and eccentric tastes. Modern day women want to express their own individual style through their fashion sensibilities and vintage inspirations are the perfect accessory vehicle. No longer is the standard silver or gold posts or hoop earrings enough, with the resurgence of these antique designs to the marketplace we find dragonflies reign supreme, lizards scale up lapels, bees buzz around lobes and sparrows take flight on decolletage.

Art nouveau repousse and art deco filigree play a part as well in this time-honored aesthetic. Big, bold, colorful stones of azure, crimson, cobalt and amber ignite the senses when enveloped in intricate filigree settings. Mass production had no place then or for today’s women of style, they and we know the true art of elegance. Choosing a piece of jewelry to wear for the day or evening was just as integral to the event at hand as the garment to be worn… to afternoon tea, a walk down the boulevard, for a formal dinner and then off to the drawing room to unwind. The intricacy of the jewelry was just as complicated as the layers of lace and the multitude of buttons that ran from the nape of the neck to just past the waist.

It was all worth it. And while those times called for an elaborate dress of the moment, these same fabulous ornate vintage jewelry designs look fantastic paired with the more simple and clean-lined silhouettes of modern fashion. They bring an extra je ne sais quoi to an ensemble, the finishing touch, the piece de resistance that otherwise might leave an uneventful outfit crying for self-expression. Today you can find old world dyes still being reproduced in the most engaging detailed patterns…raised winged butterflies, ladies reclining in the crescent moon, love birds beak to beak, even Victorian skeleton keys find there way into the mix as once useful elements of the past become today’s adornments.

Not just limited to earrings, this antique jewelry style has far reaching effects from bracelets to lariats, brooches to chokers, pendants to rings for every finger even the thumb…not even the glam girls back when were that hip! Finding reworked or new vintage pieces can be tricky, and costs for the real deal can often be cost prohibitive, but not impossible if you know where to look. Many times the attic is a good place to start or Grandma’s jewelry box. If that comes up dry check out local flea markets and small antique shops away from the big cities…they’re already super savvy about what a girl wants these days.
