According to Mamamia, Jewellery is set to be our secret-style weapon for 2025. British Vogue is saying 'extra' is what we should be aspiring to and Net-a-Porter wants us to wear big statement pieces (silver and pearls). Here's where I am going to chime in and say it's never been a better time to seek vintage originals to hit your jewellery styling goals.
1. Statement Pendants. Start with the 1970s. By-gone designers such as Trifari, Monet, Coro, Dior and KJL, all produced an abundance of gilt pendants. If you see one at a market, grab it. The value of these beauties will skyrocket this year. Otherwise, check out what HFV has here. Pictured, a 1970s Trifari Pendant.
2. Brooches. Take your fancy with any 20th-century decade. The key here is to curate vintage brooches that reflect your personal style and interests. Not only do they look great on the lapel of your jacket, but they've also been spotted on hats and over shirt buttons. Click here to browse the HFV Brooch Edit. Pictured, the beautifully elegant, mid-century Grosse for Christian Dior bow brooch.
3. Pearls, pearls and pearls. Timelessly smart and sophisticated. Think the mid-50s or the 1980s. There are plenty of faux and original options on the market. For 2025, there will be a dedicated HFV pearl edit live on the website. Below, Vintage 1980s statement earrings (for pierced ears).
4. Stacking bangles and bracelets. The trick here is to think materials and textures. You have so many vintage originals to choose from. Explore Bakelite, Lucite, gilt and silvertone. This year, at HFV we will be curating more Bakelite and colourful Lucite pieces. Click here to discover the current HFV bangle collection. Pictured, a mid century caramel Bakelite piece.
5. Silver Jewellery. Here's a trend that's been building momentum. Last year at Round She Goes (a pre-loved vintage fashion market based in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide), I noticed a significant portion of my steady silver jewellery collection was rapidly disappearing. For modernist jewellery lovers, Danish silver is a great area to explore. Pre-loved Georg Jensen is also worth looking up. I predict this preference is only going to grow in popularity. Pictured, a silvertone bangle by Monet. Highly collectable. Dating from the 1970s.
