Hello, I am a teddy bear brooch, and someone made me in the 1980s!
I’m not very tall. I’m pretty small actually. Also, I’m wearing a very fitted blue enamel waist coat, and a matching bow tie with a rhinestone.
Do you like what I’m wearing?
Can you see how I am waving at you?
Pin me on your dress, lapel, bag, or anywhere that would make you smile!
I wear enamel!

Jewellery is an important part to accessorising any outfit. And you must know by now that the GDO girls loooooove their vintage jewellery!
Here’s one of our recent pieces – a 1950s choker with five beautifully emerald green stones that could very well be chrysoprase gemstones.
What we’re sure of is that we love its intense green. The stones also resemble jade, which we love, and have a nice heaviness to it.
We wish we were gemologists!

This 1980s black vintage dress is looking for a confident owner!
Sassy and stylish, it also has an asymmetrical touch. The right side boasts colourful embroidered swirls, while the left has drapes falling nicely from the waist down. It’s the sort of dress you can take to work and then after-work drinks!
There is no material label attached, but we suspect it’s silk, as it feels very soft and natural to the touch.(Size: M)We pair it with 1960s gold-plated drop earrings that arrived on our shores all the way from Austria!

For the bride-to-be, this Gunne Sax dress is a prettie hippie possibility!
Constructed with cheesecloth and beautiful lace, this maxi is a stunner and a lovely addition to anyone’s wardrobe, even if you’re not getting married!
We pair it with a very elegant pair of drop pearl earrings that are simple yet striking in its simplicity, thanks to its teardrop fitting and fine chain.
The perfect purse with it? A 1960s clutch bag with mini flowers and rhinestones dotting the top. It has a lovely bow clasp at the top, and the body is made with lace that looks like a beehive. It’s so pretty, the photo does it no justice!
