Do you have a special piece of jewelry that was handed down to you from a cherished relative? What do you do with it, how do you wear it, or how do you incorporate it into the current trends with your style? Whether inherited or purchased at a flea market, jewelry can be that bit of sparkle that adds pizazz to any ensemble. Many women have a rhinestone or colored stone brooch in their jewelry box and don’t know what to do with it. Wear it on your lapel, or even a beret or knit hat! And if you have a piece that you aren’t wearing, pass it on to your next generation - they might find new ways to wear it!
My mother cherished her herringbone 24-carat gold chain she bought on QVC in the 80s and she passed it on to me one recent Christmas. I don’t wear gold, so I gave it to my daughter the following year as a gift for her graduation, it's special to my mom to see her granddaughter enjoying her necklace.
"My mother always wore a gold charm bracelet on her left hand. She was a very petite woman and it was full of charms, all of her grandkids had their own charms upon their births, when she traveled she would buy reminder charms of her experiences and then over the years her grandchildren would continue to fill up her charm bracelet thoughtful charms as well. I now am the proud owner of this beautiful piece of history which I cherish", Lisa Thibault
Brooches are having a moment! Pearls when styled right, or layering up chains in either silver or gold are trends for fall. Stacking rings can be your style, or one single gold band can be so chic. Finding vintage pieces that you will treasure is something really special.
