FINALLY. A photo shoot dedicated to vintage costume jewellery!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re anything like us, you just might understand.<\/p>\n

1. Perhaps you\u2019re the sort of woman who changes her jewellery every day.
\n2. Perhaps you\u2019re the sort who decides – in reverse – what jewellery to wear, before picking out an outfit.
\n3. You ponder over whether you should adorn the neck, ears or wrists.
\n4. You mull over wearing earrings and a necklace together is too much.
\n5. You contemplate how many huge rings you can possibly stack on your fingers without them getting in the way of eating and typing.
\n6. Perhaps you don\u2019t hide your jewellery in a velvet box. Instead, you display it for all \u2013 more likely, just you \u2013 to see.
\n7. You marvel at the construction of old jewellery and mutter under your breath, \u201cThey just don\u2019t make them like this anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s borderline obsession. And we hope we don\u2019t sound airy in our heads.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Art of Adornment\u201d is devoted to chunky vintage jewellery: the bigger, the bolder, the better.<\/p>\n

For the shoot, we photographed a lovely girl by the name of Michelle Yow. The scene was set at House and Beauty Emporium \u2013 two spaces beautifully awash with natural light in the Dempsey area.<\/p>\n

Blessed with big doe eyes, sun-kissed skin and an infectious smile, Michelle was a breeze to shoot. We draped her with baubles from the \u201850s to the \u201880s, each piece a statement on its own – neither shy or reticent, nor meant for shrinking violets. Easily taken from day to night, dressed up or down, these fun, easy trinkets add spunk to any simple outfit.<\/p>\n

Many heartfelt thanks to Spa Esprit for the use of their premises; Larry Yeo, makeup extraordinaire and hairstylist Alvin Foh of Ritz Hair Salon for their time and talent; and our photographer friend Vernon Leow for these lovely images!<\/p>\n
