Art Deco Inspired Jewels From Rock My Vintage
Vintage has become a big news story in fashion in recent years, and Rock My Vintage is one of its greatest exponents/ Based in Birmingham’s Custard Factory, the brand stocks a range of items under the vintage umbrella, from true pieces from the past, to faithful reproductions, vintage inspired pieces, and beautiful accessories and jewellery that have that feel of being found in granny’s jewellery box. For me, when it comes to jewellery, I love the style, shape and colours that are linked to the Art Deco era, which had its heyday in the 1920s.

Can you believe it is almost June?

Handmade Charms from House of Wonderland

I loved to examine all the charms in detail, and remember that my faves were a silver churn that opened, and a crown that had a purple amethyst stone in the centre. As an adult I am still a fan, and have both a Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland themed bracelet, as well as a charity one designed for Wallis many years ago, and a Pandora bracelet.
