Vintage jewelry in nyc

Egyptian style jewelry is big news right now, and that means gold. Its like vintage jewelry, you can find it in New York.

Vintage Jewelry collections full of chunky gold bangles and cuffs, sophisticated pendant earrings, and snake jewelry, are bringing opulent glamour to women’s outfits.

This sun kissed jewelry takes many forms and comes in degrees of boldness. Whether you want to go all the way and style yourself on Cleopatra, or just bring a hint of the Egyptian queen into your wardrobe, there’s something to suit.

Perhaps the extreme of this look is double gold cuffs and large gold collars. Collars form a circle of gold, traditionally laid on the breastbone, and fan out in a golden, sun-like affect. Cuffs can be shiny gold or mottled and with a ‘beaten’ look, but all are thick and broad and cover the wrist entirely. The idea of wearing that much gold in such chunky jewelry can be a little daunting, but the look is sophisticated and teams well with plain, simple clothing.

Not so extreme is the ornate gold snake jewelry, particularly the bangles which should be worn tight on the upper arm to get the full Egyptian look. These bangles, winding around the flesh with a snake’s head peaking out as if to attack, are certainly not subtle, but they can be pretty and delicate. Usually seen with colored jewels for eyes and jewel encrusted or engraved gold bodie
