Vintage Pearl Necklace

One name is often synonymous with the pearl necklace--Audrey Hepburn. The Tiffany necklace she wore in the film Breakfast at Tiffany's is iconic. It consisted of five strands of pearls, with a large Swarovski crystal pendant in the center. She wore it with a slinky black, floor-length gown, and black, over-the-elbow, opera gloves.

You don't have to go quite as Hollywood to wear a vintage pearl necklace. Even one strand can beautifully complement a simple neckline on any dress or blouse. Pearls are the classic that go with anything. Still, they do produce quite a dramatic look against a little black dress.

Vintage Pearl Bracelet

A couple of the same rules apply to pearl bracelets as pearl necklaces--keep the attire simple, and you can never go wrong with black. But keep a few extra details in mind as well.

One classic look that can be improved with a pearl bracelet is a sweater twinset. Neutral tones are fine, but brighter colors will be reflected in the iridescence of white pearls. You can go another way, and wear a pearl bracelet with a short-sleeved or sleeveless blouse, allowing the soft glow of the gems to stand alone. If you wear any other jewelry on that hand, make sure it's just one, simple ring. And of course, your engagement ring or wedding ring are never out of step with other jewelry pieces.

Vintage Brooch

Whatever happened to the brooch? We think it needs to make more of a comeback. Brooches used to be essential accessories, adorning women's lapels throughout the 1940s and 1950s. From small and delicate, to large and bold, a classic vintage brooch can be one of your most versatile pieces of jewelry.

This vintage amethyst brooch from the 1970s is a perfect example, with its 6.5 carat violet gemstone, and 14k gold setting. Wear it on a black or gray dress, the lapel of a suit jacket, or to hold a silk scarf in place. Perfection.

Vintage Dangle Earrings

People of both sexes and all ages have been piercing their ears (and other body parts) for at least 5,000 years. Egyptian mummies have been discovered wearing earrings, and even the Bible references that type of jewelry. With numerous styles available, you have unlimited choices when it comes to adorning your ears. One of the most popular types of vintage earrings, though, are dangle earrings.

If you're going to go to the trouble of choosing a beautiful pair of vintage dangle earrings, you want to be able to show them off. Short hairstyles make this easy. If your hair is longer, an updo is always a perfect backdrop for a special pair of earrings.

The vintage earrings you choose may be a little fancy for everyday wear, so consider adding them to an evening ensemble, complete with cocktail dress, and other accompanying pieces. If you really want your vintage earrings to stand out, make the other pieces understated, such as a simple strand of pearls, or a classic ring with a small gemstone, rather than a large, colorful cocktail ring.
