Costume Jewels ... Trash? or Treasure?

Vintage Kenneth Jay Lane Statement Necklace - circa 1970's

Purchase @ Evolution Vintage

ALWAYS A TREASURE TO ME ...

I have always LOVED costume jewels; from the plastic vintage beads of my grandmothers to the semi-fine elaborate pieces of higher end designers. The artistry, colours and unique materials have always intrigued me.

What many people do not realize is that costume jewels have been CHIC for centuries .. COCO CHANEL being one of the biggest advocates as she rarely wore her fine jewels! She loved her "Junk Jewels" that remain staples at the house of CHANEL today!




I had the amazing opportunity to collaborate with my friend, Style Maven and Multi-Tasking Mommy Mogul Tori Spelling for her recent article in the Style section of her eMag EdiTORIal.
