iAccessorize

Everyone knows we are living in quite a high tech era here in 2012. iPads, iPods, GPS, satellite radio, FaceTime..but why not add a little age to your wardrobe with a vintage accessory?

We are always on the look out for a killer piece of vintage jewelry and we have collected quite a few to share. We've found everything from large pendant necklaces and bangles to fun broaches..



These are a just a few of our finds that we love to wear ourselves...

Cameo



Large elephant pendant necklace

 







Charm Bracelet

 We love cameos and they are really easy to find when searching for vintage jewelry. They are super cute and absolutely timeless. Most estate sales and thrift stores have them in all different shapes, colors, and sizes. We found a glass one that we put on a chain to make a really awesome necklace!

Charm bracelets are everywhere now...Pandora, Persona, Brighton, Chamilia. While all of those are beautiful modern options, why not wear a fab vintage charm bracelet like ours? What we love about finding a vintage charm bracelet is that you're wearing a story from the past. They're not as easy to find, so if you see a good one be sure to snatch it up!

Large pendant necklaces. Oh, how we love these. A pendant necklace can add so much flavor to an outfit. You can find vintage necklaces with all kinds of different styles of pendants. We have found quirky fish and animal ones, to ones with big beautiful stones. You can never have too many of these. Each one is super unique and gives you a chance to express your personality!

A few things to remember when searching for vintage jewelry

If you are going to an estate sale or a thrift store, chances are you will find a lot of boxes or displays that look something like this:

Everything seems to be clumped together and you're not sure what's what. Most estate sales have a lot of really awesome broaches. They will be thrown in the box and there's a good chance you'll skip over them because they're not on a chain and you don't wear "pins". BUT these broaches can be made into a pendant necklace by putting it on a long or short chain to your liking.

You can always put loose items on a chain or swap chains out that are longer, shorter, or different colors.  

Also, always remember everything can be cleaned! We clean and polish all of our pieces after we buy them and it makes a world of difference. Sometimes all a piece needs is a little polish to give it that sparkle back.

Now go out there and find some great summer accessories!
