Vintage Elements, An Added Ingredient.
Vintage elements are an added ingredients while making and sourcing unique earring charms and pendants to hang from my newly made ear hooks and pendant enhancer clip.
Restored Vintage Jewellery Incorporating Enamel, Diamonds, Rubies & 22 and 24K gold.
It's common practice in India to adjust, dismantle or reassemble or cut precious gems, jewels and jewellery components. A necklace might be made up of separate gem-set segments of enamelled gold which may later be used to make earrings, bracelets, pendants, transformed into a ring or added to a strand of beads. A piece might have sections sold through hard times and later be reassembled and added to through more favourable times of celebration.
Some jewels have had a journey across continents and through different eras but every jewel (old and new) should tell a story. This post features just a couple of the gorgeous vintage components that I have come across while on the hunt for treasures and future heirlooms. As the pieces hold their own special beauty only minimal restoration was required to return them to the glory they deserve.
This precious pair of ear pendants are a part of the Alexander Gems & Jewels Curated Collection. The AGJ Curated Collection will feature local Jaipur artisans work, vintage jewellery restored & repurposed jewels, as well as loose precious fine gemstones.
