The Gold Standard

March 13th, 2013

We’ve struck gold with this little crop of vintage jewelry pieces – all in flattering gold shades!

We’ve struck gold!

Clockwise from top left:

GOLD 80S CHOKER: Stunning piece featuring three square tubes in different lengths as the centrepiece. The middle tube is textured, and the top tube slides easily along the chain. http://shop.grannysdayout.com/eshop/product.php?id=463&s=4&b=0

YOU SPIN ME RIGHT ROUND: 1950s-1960s gold toned brooch featuring overlapping circles, some textured, some smooth. Easy to match, goes with just about anything! http://shop.grannysdayout.com/eshop/product.php?id=460&s=4&b=0

1960S MODERNIST PENDANT: This lovely pendant is wearable art! Little triangular gold bits stick out of a dropped circular frame, making the piece 3D and adding an interesting dimension. We love it! http://shop.grannysdayout.com/eshop/product.php?id=462&s=4&b=0

SARAH COVENTRY LINK BRACELET: The Sarah Coventry brand is a favourite amongst vintage jewelry collectors. This 1970s link gold tone bracelet is beautiful in its simplicity, and is neither too heavy nor chunky. It’s easy to wear to work or to play. In fact, it could just be that “everyday bracelet!”. http://shop.grannysdayout.com/eshop/product.php?id=461&s=4&b=0

 Drop dead gorgeous! 1950s-1960s rhinestone earrings with a coral bead in the middle, citrine marquise stones and a tasselled drop. You can't quite see it here, but three of the four tasselled ends hold three round beads, and the last hold, surprisingly, a tiny citrine stone. Attention to detail, is what we say!
