The world of fashion today is filled with numerous styles and tastes. Locating vintage designer jewelry fashionably and well doesn’t take any special skill. It just requires an appreciation of the jewelry and knowing where to look. The term “vintage” doesn’t always have to mean “ancient,” though. In fact, anything older than 100 years is antique. But vintage is more about evoking a memorable time or era. Pieces from the 80s and 70s can be just as prized as pieces from older decades.

I love pendant jewelry. My grandmother had an amber pendant that she would sometimes let me wear. She had noticed my childish love for her treasure chest of jewelry and especially her pendant jewelry collection. I loved the amber pendant in particular. I’ll never forget the way the sun seemed to radiate from within that pendant.

It is almost standard practice in the jewelry industry these days to attach the name of a designer to a jewelry line just like in a clothing line. Designer wedding jewelry is no exception, commanding higher prices and surpassing plain label wedding jewelry in popularity.
