Rules for Wearing Vintage and Antique Jewellery

Vintage Chic: 10 Rules for Wearing Vintage and Antique Jewellery

Many women love wearing and collecting vintage and antique jewellery. These jewels have stood the test of time in terms of beauty and style. From brooches, pins and lockets to rings, earrings, bangles and watches, there are many jewellery pieces to choose. While most girls dare to rock old stuff, if you wish to wear vintage and antique jewellery, here are ten crucial rules to follow.
 

1. Cameo

Antique cameos add old-world elegance to any jewel collection. Vintage cameos can feature many different scenes and images like ladies or couples. Hand-carved cameos from older eras may be very valuable and, as such, these jewels never go out of style. Wear a cameo on you blazer or sweater. You can also wear a small cameo ring or earrings.

2. Art Nouveau Pendant

The Art Nouveau period is well-known for its elegant designs. Many pendants of the era featured women, botanicals, and insects. Jewelers employed techniques like enameling to create exquisite and jeweled scenes. Adding a piece of Art Nouveau jewellery is a great way to add vintage charm to any collection. Wear your antique pendant with a gold chain or a black velvet ribbon.

3. Vintage Costume Jewel

Wearing a designer piece of costume jewellery created by a notable designer like Miriam Haskell is a popular way to showcase your vintage style. Haskell created marvelously colorful brooches that can still be collected today. Wear an eye-catching costume jewellery pin with a suit or on jeans jacket. Many women collect vintage costume jewellery that continues to go up in value.

4. Guilloche Locket

Guilloche is a type of French enameling that was popularly used early in the twentieth century, especially for lockets. Many guilloche lockets feature painted accents like flowers, birds, and ribbons. Uniformly sweet, guilloche lockets continue to be charming additions to any collection. Wear your locket with a sweater that allows you to show it off.

5. Celluloid Pin or Brooch

Celluloid is an early plastic that was often used as a material for making jewellery. You can find antique celluloid pins and brooches that represent small animals like dogs or cats. Basket pins filled with carved celluloid flowers were also popular during the late Victorian period and early twentieth century.

6. Arts and Crafts Inlaid Bracelet

The Arts and Crafts era of the early nineteenth century is known for its outstanding craftsmanship. If you are able to procure a fine silver bracelet inlaid with precious minerals like lapis lazuli, amber, or jet, you’ll have a lovely treasure to wear with jeans or even a dress. Arts and Crafts silver brooches are also highly collectible.

7. Edwardian Lariat

Lariat necklace designs boast long strands of beads, pearls, or chains. Popular during the Edwardian era, these long necklaces are making a comeback because they can be worn in many different ways. Women can wrap them several times around their neck or leave them long and dangling. A vintage lariat can also be worn with a wide array of contemporary styles.

8. Art Deco Watch

If you can procure a vintage Art Deco watch, you’ll have a stunning collectible to showcase on your wrist. Many Art Deco watches contained beautiful enameling and multiple colors. Clock faces were usually geometric in shape. In some cases, gems would be inlaid along the watch band. If you don’t care for wrist watches, look for an Art Deco watch pendant.

9. Amethyst Drop Earrings

Amethysts were popular gems during the nineteenth century. With their beautiful purple hue, amethyst drop earrings are a romantic ornament for any woman. These gems continue to be revered. Wearing a pair of vintage amethyst drop earrings reflects the romance and elegance of the Victorian era. If you can’t find amethysts, consider searching for garnet earrings, another popular gem of the nineteenth century.

10. Bakelite Bangles

Bakelite, a hard plastic, was popularly crafted into jewellery during the early nineteenth century. Many designs were quite whimsical while others, like bangles, were popularly worn by many women of the era. Today, wearing Bakelite bangles is an eye-catching fashion statement. You might wear a carved Bakelite bangle or a translucent shade of apple juice or olive.
 

These are a few ways you can wear vintage and antique jewellery. Check your grandma’s attic, garage sales or flea markets to add a few antique pieces to your collection. You’ll enjoy the charms that vintage jewels offer as they complement your style. What are your best ways to rock vintage jewellery?

GROWING IDEAS By Michael Sage

GROWING IDEAS
By Michael Sage

Your mind at peace - lazing around a crackling campfire,
Deep within - a thought of something to which you aspire.
The dawning of a new idea - you feel the spark of a little fire,
Growing bigger day by day - until it’s a fully-fledged desire.

Stoke the coals within - let the flames engulf you like wildfire,
Keep on stoking - never allow the flames of desire to expire.
Seek what you need - don’t be shy to ask for help or to enquire,
For lack of information - can force your pursuit to misfire.

Sink your teeth into your desire - like a unforgiving bloodthirsty vampire,
Exercise your brains - allow your dendrons to rewire.
Mull your mind - work it hard - allow it to perspire,
While gathering information - which you need and must acquire.

Times will come that will be tough – like treading through a soggy quagmire,
Persistence is the thing - which you will then most require.
Dream stealers will attempt to hold you back - hoping your ideas will backfire,
Believe in yourself - unwaveringly - and stick with people that inspire.

You’ll be amazed at what you can achieve - and what will transpire,
The end result  - your pride and joy - for all and sundry to admire.
The castles you’ve built  - the dynasty you’ve created - what an empire,
The completion of your task - before you lay down and retire.

Moment Of Creation

Why can not we see the moment of creation of the universe?

You've probably heard that seeing the sky is equal to seeing in the past. Even the moon we see is a picture of a second old. Sun warms us in pleasant sunny afternoon actually look at our star since eight minutes. That is such a dramatic example is the Andromeda Galaxy. When we look through a telescope, in fact we see the appearance of Andromeda from 2.5 million years ago.

This happens because of the speed of light which is final and is 300.000km / sec. Because the distance of distant objects we measure using light, ie on the basis of how well it is necessary to come to the observer.

Using this idea, and given that the Big Bang occurred about 13.7 billion years ago, we are not supposed to see the creation of the universe if you equip with very good equipment?

The answer is no.

The reason is simple and stems from the fact that in the real moments after the Big Bang, the light simply did not exist. Photons have occurred after the weak nuclear force and electromagnetic force are separated. However, they would not have seen anything, because the whole universe will be thick because new found light will not be able to travel freely.

From 10 seconds to 380 thousand years after the Big Bang, the universe photons, neutrons, protons and atoms and established future. After that, the space has reached a low enough temperature to create a first element on which the light first started to travel freely. Just then our universe became visible, and it is the earliest moment of existence which we can observe.

The first light has its own name - called microwave background radiation, and it's the oldest thing we can see, thanks to the special instruments such as WMAP and Planck spacecraft.

CV vs. Resume

CV vs. Resume: The Difference and When to Use Which

Ever wondered why a Brit applies with a CV and an American with a resume? And why does an Aussie apply with both? There are a few differences between the two types of application documents and this article will straighten out your queries as well as tell you where in the world you are likely to use which document. Let me kick off the bonanza by introducing the contender in the blue corner…

CV:

A CV (Curriculum Vitæ, which means course of life in Latin) is an in-depth document that can be laid out over two or more pages and it contains a high level of detail about your achievements, a great deal more than just a career biography. The CV covers your education as well as any other accomplishments like publications, awards, honours etc.

The document tends to be organised chronologically and should make it easy to get an overview of an individual’s full working career. A CV is static and doesn’t change for different positions, the difference would be in the cover letter.

Resume:

A resume, or résumé, is a concise document typically not longer than one page as the intended the reader will not dwell on your document for very long. The goal of a resume is to make an individual stand out from the competition.

The job seeker should adapt the resume to every position they apply for. It is in the applicant’s interest to change the resume from one job application to another and to tailor it to the needs of the specific post. A resume doesn’t have to be ordered chronologically, doesn’t have to cover your whole career like and is a highly customisable document.

Differences:

As stated, three major differences between CVs and resumes are the length, the purpose and the layout. A resume is a brief summary of your skills and experience over one or two pages, a CV is more detailed and can stretch well beyond two pages. The resume will be tailored to each position whereas the CV will stay put and any changes will be in the cover letter.

A CV has a clear chronological order listing the whole career of the individual whereas a resume’s information can be shuffled around to best suit the applicant. I would say the main difference between a resume and a CV is that a CV is intended to be a full record of your career history and a resume is a brief, targeted list of skills and achievements.

Let’s revise:

CV – long, covers your entire career, static
Resume – short, no particular format rule, highly customisable

Usage around the world:

A resume is the preferred application document in the US and Canada. Americans and Canadians would only use a CV when applying for a job abroad or if searching for an academic or research oriented position.

In the UK, Ireland and New Zealand, a CV is used in all contexts and resumes aren’t used at all. The CV prevails in mainland Europe and there is even a European Union CV format available for download.

In Germany, the CV is more commonly known as a Lebenslauf (true to the latin origins) and is only one of many application document the poor German job seekers must produce to get an interview.

In Australia, India and South Africa, the terms resume and CV are used interchangeably. The term resume is used more for jobs in the private sector and CV is more commonplace when applying for public service positions.

Question:

So what gives if you apply for an American company in Europe or vice versa? The jaded folks in HR will accept both types although I would recommend you use the local version. It’s not that hard to convert your document after all and if you hit a brick wall, just ask me for help.

Which do you prefer, the CV, the resume, both, none? Please share your experience in the comments below!
