Vintage Inspired Swarovski Crystal Perfume Brooch for Your Bra!

Jewelry

Feb 182011

I feel like I’m maybe a little late in the game here, but I’ve never seen one of these! They caught my eye whilst I was browsing for bras. Let’s talk a little bit about how incredibly awesome this Braza perfume brooch is:

Pin It

It’s a bra accessory – like jewelry.. for your boobs
It’s vintage inspired – score!
It’s adorned with Swarovski crystals!
It’s perfect for people who can’t/hate to wear perfume on their skin/clothes

I’m actually one of those people. I get a rash with almost any perfume and my skin even discolors if I wear perfume while standing out in the sun too long – weird, I know! And I don’t wear it on my clothes either (some fabrics stain with one spritz!) Anyway, this looks like the perfect solution for me. I’m not in the habit of wearing a brooch clipped to my bra so I’d probably just wear it on a scarf or clipped to my purse. But if I was wearing a plunging neckline and out on a date well, that’d be one sparkly eyeful!

Pin It

Directions: Simply spritz one of the foamies (15 included), with a favorite scent, tuck into the chamber behind the brooch and clip the brooch to the center of bra, blouse or dress and…inhale!

I’m kind of in love with this idea. But what do you think?

Oh My Vintage Stars! Samantha Stephens’ Bewitched Heart Necklace

samantha stephens bewitched heart necklace

Pin It

If you’ve ever watched the classic 60′s show Bewitched featuring Elizabeth Montgomery and Dick York, then you’d have noticed twitchy-witch Samantha Stephens wears a trademark heart necklace in nearly every episode. The necklace is a white gold diamond pavé heart which was given to Elizabeth as a “love gift” from husband/Bewitched director William Asher. I read some trivia that says she lost the original one and asked that 2 copies be made, in rhinestones instead of diamonds, in case she lost one of them again!

I was watching the first few seasons of Bewitched over the weekend and remembered how much I adore the show. I think this necklace would make the perfect Valentine’s day gift, even if your lady has never seen an episode of Bewitched! I’m going to be snapping one up for myself, in CZ rhinestones obviously. I did a search over at Emitations, which is where I usually go for celebrity imitation jewelry, and they had a lot of items that were close, but not an exact replica like I wanted.

You can find a replica of the Bewitched diamond heart necklace below:

Gil Elvgren: The Complete Pin-ups

Pin It

Sale: 17% off

Post-depression America was in desperate need of a defining iconography that would lift it out of the black and white doldrums, and it came in the form of Gil Elvgren’s Technicolor fantasies of the American dream. His technique — which earned him a reputation as “The Norman Rockwell of cheesecake” — involved photographing models and then painting them into gorgeous hyper-reality, with longer legs, more flamboyant hair and gravity-defying busts, and in the process making them the perfect moral-boosting eye-candy for every homesick private. This big, hardcover, color book collects his complete pin-ups. Erotic, but no nudity. 272 pages, hardcover.

Audrey Hepburn Poster

Pin It

Sale: 25% off

Measures 24″ by 36″ and is $6! Fans of Audrey should snap this cheap Hepburn portrait up!

Pin It

Understated, richly vintage.
The Giselle tiara looks like it belongs a family treasure vault.
It is a captivating accessory for evening.
And, for your wedding day, your veil can drift down from the band of this romantic tiara.
Every detail transmits the luxury of Edwardian jewelry.
The graceful, curvilinear bracket is a delicate sculpture, filled with crystal and pearl ballontinis.

Looks like lots of ladies bought this tiara for their weddings. I don’t blame them, it’s gorgeous! I wore a tiara to my prom (I don’t want to think about how long ago that was…) but it wasn’t as beautiful as the Giselle tiara is!

Many antique jewelry fans think they can only get the vintage jewelry look by shopping at expensive estate sales and antique stores. Savvy shoppers, however, know that they can get the look of antique vintage jewelry, antique costume jewelry, and antique rings for a fraction of the price at Emitations! Our collection of faux antique jewelry and vintage jewelry has the appeal of costume jewelry – no thrift store shopping required.

Since jewelry trends change over time, there are many styles of antique jewelry to choose from. Some favor the romance of Victorian era designs, while others prefer the bold lines of art deco jewelry. Edwardian, medieval, retro, and art nouveau are all different types of antique jewelry and vintage jewelry that you may prefer. Each genre of antique costume jewelry has a distinctive beauty, so it can be difficult to choose just one favorite!

Generally, shoppers interested in vintage jewelry and antique costume jewelry are looking for some certain key features. Black rhodium plating on sterling silver, for example, can give a piece the look of an antique finish. This patina is an easy way to make a modern item look like a vintage jewelry collectible. Intricate filigree – often surrounding real or faux gems – is often used to emulate the feminine, lacy look of antique jewelry. Additional details, like beaded metal, oxidized finishes, and ornate accents can all give modern costume jewelry the appeal of antique costume jewelry.

Certain stone cuts are often found in antique jewelry and antique costume jewelry. Rose cut stones and cushion cut stones are both more vintage jewelry styles; we see diamonds with these cuts in many antique rings. Whimsical shapes such as snakes, buckles, and insects also played a role in antique jewelry and antique costume jewelry. Big, bold gems – especially in dramatic estate rings, estate necklaces, and estate earrings – also evoke the elegance of vintage jewelry.

Antique chic is a look that anyone can acquire – and afford! Shop sterling silver vintage jewelry styles, faux antique jewelry, believable vintage jewelry, traditional style antique costume jewelry, and a wide selection of antique ring designs – only at Emitations.
