She wore an olive-green dress that complemented her curly ginger hair and bright blue eyes. He was walking next to her, holding her hand, as they strolled the path winding through the pine forest. They came to a clearing where the sun was warm and the birds were chirping. She could feel the cool breeze flowing through the trees and brushing her freckled cheeks. He bent down onto one knee and asked for her hand, showing her a ring of red rubies and sparkling diamonds. Her jaw widened at the surprise and she squealed yes with happiness.

The 1960s marked the era of the Youth Quake Culture movement. The Baby Boomers were rebelling from the norms their parents had laid out for them. They wore daring and colorful fabrics, cut their hair into bobs, and reveled in the designs and patterns that reminded them of childhood. Jumper dresses made a woman in her twenties look like a child, with big bows, polka dots, round collars, and pastels. The 60s were a decade of change and transformation. By the late 1960s the emergence of hippies, mini-skirts, bell-bottoms, and Flower Power took over.

Florals have been a widely used motif in jewelry and design for centuries. It was reimagined in the 1960s. The popularity of flower design grew immensely with the rise of the passive resistance movement and their slogan, “Flower Power”. It was a non-violent ideology with a symbol that was embroidered on jackets, sewn into fabrics, and found on jewelry. These silver flower earrings were part of this influence. They feature the trendy style of earring that was oversized and dangling. Long hanging earrings were en vogue and looked fantastic with the short hair cuts of the times, or with hair tucked back with a headband.

Geometric shapes reminiscent of the Art Deco era took over fashion with hexagons, circles, spirals, triangles, and more. Pieces were sculptural and bold, the idea of “over-the-top” didn’t exist. Fashion was meant to shock, explore, and rebel. Patterns Clashed. Men grew long hair. Unisex clothing came about. The population was saturated with young people. They were activists, feminists, music connoisseurs, opinionated, and creative.

These fabulous vintage silver earrings were handcrafted in the 1960s and are likely Scandinavian. They were made in silver and have been acid tested. Overall, each flower earring measures 67 mm long and 21 mm across at the widest point, tougher they weigh 10.5 grams.

These darling pop art styled earrings are the snazzy pair of accessories with a retro twist you’ve been searching for!

The buckle was a common motif in Victorian jewelry as it symbolized eternity.

When worn, or gifted, it represented the beautiful ideas of unending love, fidelity, and strength. This wonderful piece of Victorian tradition is smothered with romantic symbolism. The buckle was popularized by Queen Victoria, and the design was carried over to the Edwardian Era. Today, it remains as a timeless motif of romance.

The Tree of Life appears in Ancient Egyptian culture as a connection to the matter of existence. It represented the hierarchical chain of events that created everything. The Egyptians referred to it as the “tree in which life and death are enclosed”.

Her hair was almost black, pulled back like Audrey’s, as she sat at a tall table in the corner of the bar. She was next to a window, waiting for him, or somebody, to join her.

The story of the tortoise and hare dates to the time of its teller, Aesop, a slave in Ancient Greece, around 500 BC. The story tells of a tale involving a slow-moving tortoise and a speedy hare.

The word, “topaz” likely stems from a Greek island once known as Τοpáziοs found in the Red Sea. The legendary island was rather hard to find, but it produced peridot, which was often confused with topaz during that time. Topaz wasn’t actually known until the classical times when mineralogy came about. For centuries, the term “topaz” referred to most any transparent brown, orange, or yellow gemstone. The Ancient Greeks believed that topaz would gift them commanding strength. During the Renaissance, Europeans believed topaz would dispel anger and break magic spells. There was even an English superstition that said topaz could cure lunacy!

These wonderful French vintage gold and blue topaz star drop earrings were handcrafted around 1950. They weigh 4.0 grams and individually measure 18.6 x 11.9 x 13.8 mm.

These beautiful earrings are hallmarked with the gold purity mark, “750”.

The word “topaz” might also be linked to the Sanskrit word, “tapas”, which means “heat” or “fire”. It’s fairly easy to see why this bright and fiery gemstone would have emanated from this descriptive word!

Women of 100 years ago fought for their right to vote. They expressed their opinions in a multitude of ways, ranging from protests to the fashions they chose to adorn themselves in. At protests and demonstrations, women in England wore green, white and violet, which blended into a tricolored rainbow of activism, standing in for Give Women the Vote.

They wore pins, medallions, and buttons, with phrases such as, “Votes For Women” or “No Vote, No Tax”. There is no doubt that this type of jewelry existed, but how much and what kind, is up for debate. In the Mappin & Webb catalog for Christmas in 1908, there was a page of Suffragette jewelry that included five pieces, brooches and pendants, that were made with emeralds, amethysts, and pearls – the three suffragette colors. Outside of this evidence, it’s hard to say if a pendant like this one, crafted during the Edwardian era with the same colors, was meant for the same purpose or not. Some like to say that these pieces were in abundance, while some experts say there were only a few. Politics have an inevitable effect on fashion, so the linkage isn’t nonexistent. The trends of the times included similar colors, so which came first?

As far as I can tell, the 'The Women's Social and Political Union' in England was a group of courageous and strong women who stood up as one and demanded to be counted. The colors of the flags they waved and the buttons they wore were purple, to symbolize the instinctual need in all of us for freedom and dignity, white, to symbolize purity, and green, symbolic of hope and the color of spring and new life.

This antique Art Nouveau English drop pendant was handcrafted around 1905. It was made in 9 karat gold during the Arts and Crafts movement in England. It features two green peridot gemstones measuring 1.7 x 1.7 x 1.1 mm each, with a faceted oval amethyst at the center, measuring 9 x 6.5 x 4.7 mm and weighing approximately 1.46 carats. A lustrous natural white pearl drops at the bottom and measures 4.5 x 4.3 x 4.8 mm. Overall, this graceful piece measures 43.6 x 22 x 5.3 mm. It has been hallmarked with the gold purity content mark, “9ct”.

Whether this pendant was inspired by the suffragette movement or not we will never know for sure. What we do know, however, is how elegant, classic, and charming this piece is.

He couldn’t give it to her in front of everyone. That would have been scandalous as they were young and no sort of permission had been asked.

He, however, sat there quietly, anxious and curious in his dinner coat and white bow tie. Finally, she entered the room wearing a crimson dress with butterfly sleeves, with the golden locket around her neck. It was the second thing he noticed, the first was her smile. The rest of the crowd immediately dug in to their food and sipped their wine. They sat opposite each other, grinning from the corners of their mouths and catching eyes when no one else was looking.

They were like disco balls of blue iridescence hanging from her ears. He kept glancing at them as they flickered cool shades of color on her freckled cheeks.

Mourning jewelry emerged long before photography existed, as a way to commemorate a loved one. Memorial bands were made to distribute amongst close friends and family of the deceased, typically by wealthier families who could afford it. Often, the one who made the arrangements for this was the deceased, prior to their passing. They were stunning pieces, some with miniature portraits of the loved one, some with woven locks of hair. This piece features a row of three pearls, bordered in black enamel, with decorated shoulders, which would have been worn during the mourning period.

This Victorian antique pearl and enameled gold ring was handcrafted in Chester, England in 1892. It’s a size 5 ring, made in 15 karat gold, that weighs 2.5 grams.

Niello is a black metalwork technique that fuses to a metal base. In the case of this chain, it’s fused in a striped motif over silver. It holds a metallic luster that is very strong. Ancient Egyptians likely created this technique. The Ancient Romans made use of it as well, spreading the technique throughout Europe during the Roman occupation. During the Renaissance, it met its height in popularity as Francesco Francia and Maso Finiguerra (both goldsmiths and artists) mastered the skill. The niello trend came back again at the end of the 18th century and stuck around until the beginning of the 20th century.

Children of means would often wear a coral necklace, given to them from a loved one, to keep them safe. Of course, coral, especially red coral – the rarest and most expensive – was also fashionable. Jane Harley, the Countess of Oxford, wore a string of red coral around her neck. It was in vogue for the rich and the powerful. And honestly, I’m not convinced it ever went out of style.

The idea of the heart shape being linked to the concept of love developed in the 15th century. The shape itself dates back further and has been identified in paintings, texts, and other media.

He saw her across the dusty market somewhere in southern France. The day was full of heat and passersby moved slowly, looking at baguettes and ripened plums. She stood by a fruit cart with pears and cherries, speaking with a smile to the man who owned it. She walked on by, glancing at the cotton clouds in the sky. He noticed there was something spectacular about her presence. The earrings in her ears looked like drops of sunlight that had fallen from the sky and chose to follow her around, addicted to her air. She seemed so casual about the whole thing that he knew he had to find out her name.

These earrings have a back to front closure which works just as it sounds, the earring goes through the ear from behind and clips in the front.

Don't be surprised if you get hooked on this style of closure once you get used to it!
