A lady who needs no introduction; Grace Kelly will always be the epitome of style and the original inspiration for #STYLEGOALS!

Throughout her career Kelly's wardrobe remained classic, chic and lady like. She was never brash or bold in her clothing but was always absolutely flawless in appearance. She is one of the most revered celebrities for her natural flair for fashion in a time when style assistants hadn't been invented!

I am so partial to a bit of sparkle but I particularly love the colour and shine of vintage costume jewellery!

Vintage rhinestone jewellery was originally made to imitate diamonds to offer a more affordable alternative to lovers of fine jewels.

This type of jewellery then became really popular in World War II as luxuries became a rarer commodity.

A personal favourite vintage sparkle of mine is the Aurora Borealis. These rhinestones were treated with a special iridescent coating that gave them an amazing rainbow shine. Believe me when I say they are perfect for wearing with any colour!

Not only is vintage jewellery beautifully unique but it is also hugely collectable. There are quite a few designers to look out for on signed pieces such as Coro, Lisner, Art, Weiss, Miriam Haskel and Bogoff.

If having a signed piece isn't a major must when searching for a vintage sparkle then there are so many affordable stunning pieces available that are collectable purely because of their beauty and originality.

Come see our sparkles in Dirty Fabulous!
