Jewelry Mixologists

Three modern jewelry designers have recently added a section of antique and vintage pieces to their websites, their trunk shows and pop up events "These are the type of pieces you give or receive for special occasions, can gift yourself and that you can wear all of the time It's always been a fantasy of mine that 100 years from now, someone will discover one of my pieces, and it would have the same special meaning to them as antique or vintage pieces have for me- the stories and memories, collected over the years" "Sarah Hendler's maternal and paternal grandmothers both had a passion for jewelry that was passed down to her, along with their rare and unique pieces from the Art Deco period through the 1970s"My grandmothers both wore jewelry throughout all stages of their life, therefore they collected pieces from different time periods.

Giving a nod to Coco Chanel's iconic style of combining faux chains with authentic and glass pearls, ancient coins and antique charms, Hendler will wear her 14K and18K gold current pieces with gold-filled and fine pieces from the Victorian era and layered 18K gold mid-century vintage chains and heavy pinky rings with her spherical styles She has recently changed her business model, adding antique and vintage pieces to her website which will be target directly to the consumer and working with Shop Mille for a collection of estate jewelry on it's website "My goal is to offer pieces that don't break the bank and that can mix well with the pieces I am designing" She continues, "If you look at what women want today in antique and vintage, it's the pretty Victorian or Edwardian rings, gold heavier chains links in bracelets and necklaces, assorted charms from different time periods, earrings from every era, and the more pared-down timeless pieces by Elsa Peretti and Paloma Picasso in the 1970s" "These are the types of pieces I am featuring on my website-those that have withstood the test of time and will continue to do so" Her most recent acquisitions are lockets from various periods and retro 1940s bracelets which have an ultra-modern feel to them and blend seamlessly yet make a statement with pieces in her contemporary collection.
