Antique necklaces - sparkling treasures from days gone by
Wearing chains and necklaces is a tradition that has existed for thousands of years. It is difficult to say when the first person wore a sparkling shell around their neck. But the oldest known pearl necklace was discovered in South Africa and is around 75,000 years old. Over time, antique necklaces have gone through many eras, styles and designs, reinventing themselves time and time again.
Elsa Peretti at Tiffany, for example, brought sterling silver into fashion in the 1970s. But she also used unusual materials such as bone, bottles and porcelain. She wanted to give value back to disregarded materials and combine them with the styles of past eras. Vintage jewelry can do just that: precious stones, silver or gold are on an equal footing with coral, pearls and wood. The used pieces shine in the field of tension between nostalgia, fashion and climate awareness.

Vintage necklaces as eye-catchers - be creative!
The "little black dress" shows the way: If you wear a classic pearl necklace around your neck, you will look elegant but conservative. With a large diamond hanging from a long chain, you will come across differently. What about a glass stone? An antique vintage necklace with brilliants or an emerald? Even a simple, used gold chain will change the impression you make. Do you want to come across as more rebellious? How about a second-hand necklace, expressive and made of ceramic? You can also wear the classic pearl necklace that you love so much. Just let them hang out of the side pocket in two rows - clipped tightly inside. The beauty of it: a simple black outfit with vintage accents works for everyone - even fashion-conscious men.
Whatever you choose, with vintage necklaces you can put the finishing touch to your look. Antique, vintage or modern, the chains and necklaces express what you stand for and who you are. Use this power - it will always spice things up and complete your personal style.
