How To Style Your Outfits With Vintage Jewelry

10/29/2018

Accessorizing with jewelry is one of the easiest ways to take a dull outfit and turn it into something a lot more stylish. But it’s trickier than people realize to get it right. You’ve got to match the right jewelry with the right outfits and make sure that you’re not going overboard with it. Vintage style is one of that hardest to get right when it comes to accessorizing with jewelry but it can look amazing if you know what you’re doing. Here are some basic rules and a couple of ideas to help you accessorize your vintage outfits with jewelry.

Buy Real Vintage Jewelry
The definition of vintage is pretty loose, anything that’s more than 20 or 30 years old can be considered vintage so there’s plenty of stuff out there for you. But there are also a lot of vintage imitation pieces that have popped up since vintage fashion took off. You can still get some fairly good vintage style pieces of jewelry but they’ll never be the same as the real thing. You need to get original vintage pieces of jewelry if you want to make it work. There are some great companies like Yafa Signed Jewels that specialize in buying and selling vintage jewelry. These authentic vintage pieces of jewelry will be much better than any of the modern imitations.

Mix Clothes And Jewelry From The Same Decade
Different decades all have their own very distinct style and it’s incredibly hard to mix them effectively. That’s why it’s important that you use clothes and jewelry from the same era. If you match a 70’s outfit with a piece of ornate jewelry from the 50’s, those 2 very different styles are only going to clash. In some cases, it is possible to use a few pieces from different eras but tread lightly because it’s very hard to get right.
Use Statement Pieces
One of the most important rules of vintage fashion, in general, is to use pieces sparingly rather than grabbing as many vintage items as possible and throwing them together into an outfit. The same goes for jewelry. A lot of vintage jewelry is very big and bold, especially stuff from the 70’s and 80’s. If you’re wearing a pair of big hoop earrings with a chunky necklace and a thick bracelet, your outfit is going to look crowded. It’s best to use one bold piece of vintage jewelry and pair it with some more understated modern items. It’s all about finding that balance instead of wearing as many different pieces of vintage jewelry as possible. 

Match With Plain Outfits
Matching those statement pieces with an outfit that has a lot of bold patterns and colours is a bit of a risk because it can look quite cluttered and chaotic. It’s often better to match vintage jewelry with a plain outfit instead. Then you can really make the jewelry stand out and elevate a plain outfit at the same time.
If you stick to these basic rules you can pick the perfect vintage jewelry for your outfit every time.

Love is pure and pristine. Love is precious. We fall in love with someone very special and try to please her/him with something unique. And when it comes to gifts, nothing can match the charm of designer engagement rings. The reason: your creativity and love is involved in it. But the big question is from where one should buy; after all, your hard money is involved in it.
