Tips for Finding Vintage Necklaces

Video Transcript

All right so some other great accessories that you can look for to complete your vintage look are necklaces and you shouldn't have too much trouble finding necklaces when you are shopping around. Now if you don't have a grandmother, great grandmother, aunt or a mom that has them sitting around in a jewelry box at home; trust me they probably don't want them. Ask them, see what they are going to do with them. You can find some great pieces of them at the Thrift store or again, online or at yard sales. One classical staple of vintage necklace that you can't go wrong with is the big fat pearl necklace. These look great with a dress. You can use them for modern day clothing so look for these. You can find them for a couple of bucks or so at Thrift stores. Look for some that maybe have the double strands like this and you know actually I just bought this one at the Thrift store and I got it for a really good deal because the clasp is broken. Don't hesitate to pick up the broken necklaces too. If you are crafty and you are handy, you can always break these apart and restring them or something that I think I am going to do since I bought this one for a great deal but it needs some help is I am going to go low budget and get a safety pin and clasp these two together and it is going to hold together just fine. So depending on how much you want to spend, you could bring it to a jewelry and have them attach a clasp there but if I am just going to be lazy and probably will, will probably just use a safety pin and just clasp this one shut. Also look for some fun colored beads like these. This one might actually be from the 60's or 70's but it is a great way to just round out the look and they just look really nice giving it a instant vintage look. Or something like the crystals or the fake crystals here, they just look really nice. Something like this might cost you a little bit more. The three strand pearl and crystal necklace combination. There is a lot of workmanship that goes in these so they know that they can get a little bit more money for them. But it is a great piece to have and it instantly gives them a really nice dress up look so keep in mind the necklaces. Those are really nice.
