Gold Chains, Jeweled Charms and Gold Hoops
Vintage Gold jewelry has never been hotter.
(If you are not sure of the definition of vintage, here’s a hint: vintage dates from 20 -100 years ago. Antique is anything over 100 years old)
You’ll see vintage jewelry everywhere from red carpets to catwalks around the world. From the 60s, late 70s to 90s, everything old is new again. Celebrities from Bella Hadid to Kendall and Kylie Jenner are huge fans of vintage, making it a style all their own.
What are the key trends? There’s a newfound love of older style pieces from charm bracelets to chain necklaces to oversize streetwear hoop earrings to collectible vintage watches, fanciful brooches and more. If you are looking for vintage jewelry that is a good investment too, choose pieces from well-known designers such as Buccellati, Bvlgari, Rolex and Cartier that will stand the test of time – and keep, or even increase, its value.
We’re excited to share some of these trends with you. Dover Jewelry & Diamonds has an amazing collection of collectible vintage jewelry and watches to keep you fashion forward this fall.
