"Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue"
The poem and its
wedding traditions unite women through the generations just as vintage
rhinestone jewelry unites the elegant women of bygone eras with the
present. Rhinestone jewelry from the 1950's was worn by the most
glamorous women of the day including Ava Gardner, Grace Kelly, Elizabeth
Taylor and Lucille Ball. Wear jewelry on your wedding day that is
unique, exuberant and affordable - pieces in which the rhinestones were
so beautifully set, they could be imposters for diamonds.
Shelley Johnston is an Asheville North Carolina based jewelry designer who works exclusively with vintage costume jewelry. She built her company, Shelley's Family Jewels, with inspiration she gained by touring the Biltmore
Estate and studying its rich and fascinating history. She specializes in redesigning the sentimental vintage costume jewelry that every woman has inherited from loved ones. Unfortunately, these heirloom family pieces are often neglected in jewelry boxes because they are painful to wear (clip and screw back earrings) out of fashion (brooches/pins), too short (ladies were tiny) or unwearable due to missing rhinestones. Many of
the fine costume jewelry pieces we have inherited are well worth reinventing as they were created and manufactured in
America by designers from some of the greatest jewelry houses in the
world including Tiffany and Harry Winston who fled Europe during the wars. Vintage costume jewelry
pieces are a treasure of a simple glamorous bygone era that are still
applicable to a modern woman. Call Shelley for a complimentary consultation to discuss how to reinvent your sentimental family costume jewelry.
