If you happen to remember pillaging your grandmother’s jewelry box in the hopes of finding an Elizabeth Taylor–like jeweled treasure, you are in luck: This spring, everything old is new again for many designers.
Call us old-fashioned, but we’re investing in cool cameos, filigree details, and lace-inspired pieces to add to and accent our wardrobes.
What’s great about this new take on estate jewelry, like Tiffany’s gold studs designed to mimic gemstones (below), is it only looks like it’s been in your family for generations. Modern interpretations, like Erica Weiner’s woven friendship bracelet or Julie Wolfe’s minuscule pendant necklace (both below), keep antique ideas fresh. Think of our 11 favorites as the foundation for your own jewelry collection—they pair perfectly with vintage finds from flea markets or new classics you’ve already invested in. And who knows? Maybe grandma will start borrowing from you!PHOTOS: 15 Playful and Trendy Accessories Worth the Splurge
