This Summer, Think Vintage Jewelry

This season, it's about free-spirited pieces, fun fashions and jewelry that simply doesn't take itself too seriously. From the catwalk to the red carpet to the streets of NYC and L.A., vintage jewelry is alive and well. There are pieces to suit just about every taste and preference, from cool cuts of art deco, to romantic old-world glamour; you might just be surprised what you find.

If you remember the summer of love, then you might do a double-take this summer when you start seeing pieces that were popular in the 60s and 70s make a retro-comeback in the form of boho chic jewelry and vintage inspired accessories.

Today's jewelry is not only inspired by vintage jewelry, it's dominated by it. The hip thing right now is mixing vintage and modern pieces for a truly unique fashion-forward look. On one hand, you have the elegance and classiness of the vintage pieces, balanced out by the bold cuts and colors of more modern trends.

Vintage jewelry is fun and always in fashion. However, if you don't have any authentic aged pieces, you can still find current necklaces, bracelets, earrings, brooches and rings from a number of other sources. Look online for companies that create celeb-inspired pieces, modeled after the vintage numbers worn by Angelina Jolie, Kate Winslet and Amy Adams.

You don't have to wait for a special occasion to wear vintage jewelry. You can just as easily dress up a t-shirt, men's style vest or romantic blouse with bejeweled pieces that will take your look from day to night. Pair with jeans and heels for a perfect outfit for your next girls' night out. Most importantly, remember to have fun with your jewelry and let your style dominate how you wear it. After all, confidence is by far the best accessory you own.
