Within the world of jewelry, as in any other area related to fashion or art, there are different trends and inspirations. Each year, some of them resonate more than others on the catwalk and designers use them in their new collections. In 2020, vintage jewelry is very much present and therefore, we wanted to tell you in our blog what vintage jewelry consists of and what jewels of this style you can find at jewelry shops.

What is vintage jewelry and how do you define it?

There is no doubt that vintage is in fashion. In textiles, old trends have been reinvented to return to our days with more strength than ever. Fashions from the 70s, the 80s… have reappeared and seem to be the latest thing on the catwalk. The same goes for vintage jewelry.

Thus, we can define vintage jewelry as the jewelry that is inspired by old fashions, or that directly collects them to reinvent them.

How to get a vintage jewelry?

You can get a vintage jewel in three ways:

• Recovering old jewelry:

To get a vintage jewel, you just have to open your mother’s or grandmother’s jewelry box and wear those jewels that were so important to them. Watches, rings, bracelets… any kind of jewelry is valid.

• Reinventing antique jewelry:

Sometimes, we want to wear old jewelry but it is not in its best condition or it is simply too outdated. In Monge Joyeros we are experts in giving new life to old family jewels, and you can mix the best of both worlds, creating unique and different jewels.

• Buying new jewelry of ancient inspiration:

Finally, it is not necessary to have jewels that are several years old, but just like in the case of textiles, you can buy new jewels inspired by years gone by.
