Every girl loves to accessorize with a bit of sparkle. Although I do tend to stick to the same couple of pieces, I do love wearing Jewellery. I have more recently become interested in investing in more expensive and interesting pieces which is why I’ve also been looking at antique jewellery. My Grandma was always the queen of beautiful jewellery. Her collection was incredible and included some amazing pieces which have got me searching online to see what is available. Carus Jewellery is an online website specialising in Antique Jewellery with worldwide delivery and a huge range of pieces.
I thought I would share some of my favourite items on the Carus Jewellery website and also talk a little bit about why I want to invest in more antique pieces. You can find some really stunning pieces from a range of different time periods. There are also so many different designs and stones for every price range. One of the key things with investing in antique jewellery is that most likely the quality is unreal and you’re also getting a piece with so much history. No to mention, by purchasing a second-hand piece of jewellery you are been sustainable which is always a good thing.
So Carus Jewellery has some incredible pieces on their website. I could spend hours trawling through the website and lusting after lots of pretty diamonds. I’m always drawn to the rings as they are just beautiful. One of my favourites is this 9ct gold five stone Amethyst Ring. I just think the colour, cut and style is just gorgeous. The ring is actually hallmarked from 1977 so this is actually classed as pretty modern in the world of Antique jewels. This is definitely something my Grandma would’ve worn so there is no denying that her taste has been passed onto me.
Although I don’t really have a particular stone which I would consider a favourite, I do love the Amethyst above and Aquamarine is also another stunning stone which I’m fond out. However, I’ve always loved a gorgeous set of pearls. It’s a timeless piece which never goes out of style and looks unbelievably classy. I’m pretty sure my obsession with pearls stemmed from that incredible piece at Audrey Hepburn wore in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Although this piece is not as show-stopping, I love how dainty and just so pretty this Edwardian pearl necklace is. Dating back to more than 100 years, it’s such a beautiful necklace and would look so stunning with an LBD. Just like Audrey Hepburn!
There are actually a few pearl items on Carus Jewellery which have caught my eye. You can get some simple pearl stud earrings or go all out with a stunning show-stopping pendant. A lot of the pearl items do date back to the Edwardian period and I’m sure to carry so much history with them. I’d love to hear down below in the comments if you would invest in antique jewellery or do you already own some vintage items?
