BEJEWELLED eyes and diamante wings add a finishing touch to any outfit, vintage or new. Oversized butterflies, leopards, owls, birds & stick insects to name but a few reflect individuality and a hint of quirkiness to a scarf, jumper, coat or hat. I think it's even better if there isn't any kind of co-ordination and it's certainly a massive NO-NO to dress head to toe in vintage.
The older and bolder it appears, the more stylish and creative it looks. Pieces can also be multi-purpose; clip-on earrings can also be transformed into brooches. A long vintage necklace can be wrapped around your wrist as a statement bracelet. It's easy to create a stunning look with a vintage piece of jewellery. Swallows are trending at the moment whether it's earrings, rings, necklaces or print on dresses & jumpsuits.
The beauty of these unique pieces is that they are not produced in mass batches, like those sitting in the accessories section of New Look or Topshop and Primark. In a vintage shop, you will find one jewel encrusted butterfly, as opposed to 20! Basically, if your nan’s got a brooch lying around, wear it.
Ebay is an excellent treasure trove of interesting and individual, unusual and curious creatures.
