I have just read somet...hahah I know how you feel. I have just read something though that suggests that 'vintage' merely means using 'antiqued' findings, so antique gold, black and gun metal, and oxidised silver. Apparently the bright colours are more indicative of modern, clean lines and designs. I suppose if you think of vintage as old and dirty, then that's about spot on! :)Purple Princess Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10477757543955993990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5669825408061377272.post-52768012663234274962011-01-04T16:02:59.775-08:002011-01-04T16:02:59.775-08:00Clear.

The term 'vinta...yes interesting isn't it. The term 'vintage' in jewellery is something of an anomaly. Often so called vintage jewellery is made up of modern components made to look 'vintage'. Also the term itself is not strictly accurate as vintage suggests something over a certain age; think veteran as well. one has vintage cars and veteran cars, essentially it's the same with jewellery. However, I think designers use a little 'artistic licence' in order to create their vintage pieces. Interesting huh. Filigree is used an awful lot in vintage styles, whereas the swirls we use would rather be termed as 'bohemian'.Purple Princess Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10477757543955993990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5669825408061377272.post-18126779137388436882011-01-02T14:14:11.413-08:002011-01-02T14:14:11.413-08:00I'm never quite sure what qualifies as 'vi...I'm never quite sure what qualifies as 'vintage' so looking forward to seeing some pictures. <br /><br />Hope your eye is better now.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15880120202658451407noreply@blogger.com
