Design Era	Vintage
Design & Historical Context	Vintage jewelry refers to jewelry that was produced a certain number of years ago, typically at least 20 years or more. It is often characterized by its unique style, craftsmanship, and use of materials that are no longer in production or are hard to find. Vintage jewelry can be made from a wide variety of materials, including gold, silver, platinum, and diamonds, as well as less precious materials such as costume jewelry or Bakelite. It can be influenced by a variety of styles and movements, including Art Deco, Art Nouveau, and Retro. One of the key features of vintage jewelry is its uniqueness and individuality. Unlike modern jewelry, which is often mass-produced, vintage jewelry is often one-of-a-kind or part of a limited production run. This makes it highly collectible and sought after by collectors and vintage enthusiasts. Vintage jewelry is often associated with a sense of history and nostalgia, and it can be a way to connect with the past and appreciate the craftsmanship and artistry of earlier periods. It is highly collectible and can be found at vintage stores, antique shops, and online marketplaces.
Key Materials	Onyx
Materials & Craftsmanship	Onyx: The Stone of Strength and Protection Onyx, known for its sleek, jet-black appearance, is a gemstone that embodies strength, protection, and grounding energy. It is a form of chalcedony, a variety of quartz, and is often found with parallel bands of black and white, though solid black onyx is the most sought after for its striking simplicity and elegance. Historically, onyx has been revered for its protective qualities. In ancient Rome and Greece, warriors wore onyx amulets to provide courage and strength during battles. In many cultures, it was believed that onyx could absorb negative energy and protect the wearer from harm, making it a popular choice for talismans and protective jewelry. In modern jewelry, onyx is prized for its versatility and bold appearance. Its smooth, polished surface makes it ideal for carving into cameos, intaglios, or sleek cabochons used in rings, bracelets, and necklaces. Onyx pairs beautifully with both silver and gold, creating a dramatic contrast that enhances the sophistication of any design. Onyx is more than just a gemstone; it is a symbol of resilience, inner strength, and timeless style. Its deep, dark beauty and historical significance make it an elegant and powerful choice for jewelry that makes a statement. 14k: The Durable Choice for Everyday Elegance 14k gold is a popular and practical choice in fine jewelry, known for its durability, affordability, and beautiful color. The "14k" signifies that the gold is composed of 58.3% pure gold and 41.7% alloyed metals, such as copper, silver, nickel, or zinc. This combination results in a strong and resilient material that can withstand the rigors of daily wear, making it an ideal option for those seeking both beauty and durability. Historically, gold has always been a symbol of wealth and luxury, and 14k gold strikes a perfect balance between the rich appearance of gold and the strength needed for everyday use. Because of its lower gold content compared to 18k or 24k gold, 14k gold is more affordable, making it a popular choice for a wide range of jewelry pieces. In modern jewelry, 14k gold is appreciated for its versatility and variety. It is available in several colors, each achieved by mixing gold with different metals: Yellow Gold: A classic and timeless choice, 14k yellow gold has a warm, golden hue that complements most skin tones and is well-suited for both modern and traditional designs. White Gold: Created by alloying gold with white metals like nickel or palladium, 14k white gold has a sleek, silver-like appearance. It is often rhodium-plated for added shine and is a popular choice for engagement rings and other contemporary jewelry. Rose Gold: Achieved by mixing gold with copper, 14k rose gold has a soft, pinkish hue that has gained popularity for its romantic and vintage appeal. It is a favorite for those seeking a unique and stylish alternative to traditional gold colors. 14k gold is commonly used in a wide array of jewelry, including rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and watches. Its durability makes it especially suitable for pieces that are worn daily, such as wedding bands and engagement rings, where the balance between strength and beauty is crucial. 14k gold is more than just a practical choice; it is a symbol of enduring style and everyday luxury. Its ability to retain the look of gold while offering greater resistance to scratches and dents makes 14k gold a versatile and timeless option for any jewelry collection. Whether in a simple band or an elaborate design, 14k gold offers a perfect blend of elegance and durability that can be enjoyed for years to come.

General Care Instructions:

Remove jewelry when showering or bathing, especially when at the beach, in the sea or in chlorinated water.
Avoid wearing jewelry while doing physical work such as housekeeping, gardening or exercise.
Storing your jewelry in a dry and cool place will help protect it from moisture, dirt and dust.
Keeping it away from harsh chemicals such as bleach, ammonia and chlorine will help to avoid discoloration and damage.
Cleaning your jewelry regularly with a soft cloth will help to keep it looking shiny and new.
Avoid exposing your jewelry to extreme temperatures, such as leaving it in direct sunlight or near a heater, as this can cause damage.
Handle your jewelry carefully and avoid dropping it, as this can cause the stones to loosen or the metals to scratch.
Finally, if possible, have your jewelry professionally checked and serviced. This will ensure that any potential problems are spotted and fixed before they become worse.
