Vintage Bridal Jewelry is a popular and unique way to accessorize your special ensemble on your special day. Many brides are picking vintage jewelry for their wedding day. It can be romantic, simple, glamorous… whatever you need. Better still it resolves the “old” in the “old, new, borrowed and blue” equation!
Creating The Mood:
So what kinds of accessories might you look for depending on the mood of your wedding?
Elegance: Think about pearl necklaces (pearls are among the most popular stone in vintage pieces for weddings), diamonds, classic broaches or lockets
Glamorous: This wedding can be flashy as you want including a vintage tiara and a platinum filigree bracelet to go over long white gloves.
Romance: vintage heart necklace or gemstone drop earrings both suit the mood (HINT: match the gem to the key colors of your wedding)
Playful: look to the 1960s and 70s for some fun items suited to a beach wedding like bobble earrings.
These are just a few examples. Once you start shopping for vintage jewelry you’ll get a lot more ideas that suit your dress and overall theme more personally.
Shopping Tips
In buying jewelry realize that antique tends to mean very different things depending on who uses the word. By definition it should only apply to jewelry that’s over 100 years old, but not all jewelry dealers use the term correctly. 
By comparison vintage jewelry is more contemporary being about 60 years old. Estate is the term used for newer than vintage but not new. Authentic antique and vintage jewelry can be very costly so if you’re on a tight budget consider vintage reproductions instead.
Some of the designers to watch for in vintage bridal jewelry include Sarah Coventry, Coro, Lisner, Eisenberg, 1928, Trifari and Weiss. The beauty of vintage pieces is that they have a lot of craftsmanship behind them. Unlike many modern jewelry designs, these almost appear custom made meaning you can really find something that’s wholly YOU.
Some sellers offer reproductions as genuine vintage (with or without knowing it). Original boxes, pouches etc. up the value of the item, but this is a piece that will continue to appreciate with age. Vintage Bridal jewelry – rings, charm bracelets, earrings, necklaces, hair decoration, chokers, etc – is an investment. You will be able to pass down this piece as a treasure for generations if you take care of it properly.
