This collection is known for being fun but upscale, and using materials like precious metals, semiprecious gemstones, and even for incorporating vintage treasures. Many well known celebrities favor the jewelry, such as Joss Stone and Suchin Pak of MTV.

As you can plainly see, this particular ring definitely has a vintage feel, and it works tremendously well. The cameo especially is inspired by vintage antiquity; the floral beauty is surrounded and perfectly complemented by lovely stones of lemon topaz, pink tourmaline, and freshwater pearls. The metals used are sterling silver and brass.

It was the nineteen twenties.  The hottest new trend was flapper glam.  Now it’s 2009 — and the hottest new trend is, once again, flapper glam.  Long, colorful necklaces — like the Amore Vintage Purple Pendant Necklace — evoke a sleek, flirty style.  And let’s face it, vintage is always in style — it just so happens that, in this case, “vintage” is synonymous with the Roaring Twenties, which was all about bright colors, exaggerated accessories, and the kind of fun that was both bawdy and light hearted.
