Today’s jewelry fashions are taking a step back in time to fashions that were popular fifty years ago or more. Perhaps it is the new “thrift economy” or a return to stronger family values, but even jewelry is reflecting society by emphasizing classic 1930s styles and attitudes. Consider the surge in popularity of personalized charm necklaces. Sentimental and given with love, this style of jewelry is bought almost exclusively for women by women who love them. Mothers, daughters, grandmothers, nieces and old friends are common recieptants of this timeless gift. One of my personal favorites is a silver vintage locket. One custom jeweler known as “Jewelry by Holly” handcrafts original lockets with monogramming options for both sides of the locket. Inside, of course, is room for two tiny photos to keep close to your heart. Other old styles brought back into the limelight include using letter charms to spell out names, monogrammed mommy tags that resemble silver coins, and unique combinations of semiprecious stones with glass and Swarvoski crystal to create a free-spirited gypsy look that was popular in Europe back in the 1920s. The best part about these styles is that they are affordable, customizable, and available both online and off. Jewelry by Holly, on the other hand, is only available at select retailers such as BlissLiving.com.
