Vintage Summer Jewellery

Here are some pieces, currently in the Gleaming Kist etsy shop, that are ideal to give a lift to Summer outfits. This pretty violet brooch by Exquisite catches the current trend for florals and brights. The yellow butterfly is perfect for Summer 2019 and I’ve even included a little sun brooch so that it will show up whatever the weather.

Vintage Sparkle

There’s nothing like sparkle, whether diamante rhinestones, crystal or brights to bring some verve to the festivities. For some glittering examples and great gift ideas have a look at the jewellery in the Gleaming Kist etsy shop.

Art Deco Accents

Back last year I wrote a little piece about what made me love art deco. Today, I thought I’d share an image of some art deco pieces from my personal collection that I think make lovely home accents.

Vintage Style; Femme Fatale

The image of the femme fatale, the glamorous, dangerous woman was beloved in film noir. A touch of mystery, a striking allure, vintage accessories like these are just the thing to celebrate her style.
