Altered Vintage Jewelry!
Jan 30th, 2010 by Kuhlman
We recently received some jewelry from local design team Altered Vintage and they are sweet! These pieces are totally original and each handmade piece is one of a kind.
We have two versions of the “Nuts and Bolts” ring, they are both slightly different. I love these trio’s. The juxtaposition of the rough pieces with the delicacy of the rings themselves is great. You can wear them on their own or together in a cluster. ($35)
This line runs with a motif of cityscapes. This ring has three layers of metal, the bottom is a background, then mountains, then the buildings in gorgeous copper. This ring was made with men in mind, but I think it makes a great chunky piece for women too! ($70)
The earrings in the cityscape motif are too cool to be true. The combination of layered metal with the handmade quality gives a great vintage-y look. (Triangle, $40, Circle, $63, Pentagon, $45)
These crescents come from watch pieces. They have a great industrial look without being too heavy or huge. ($27)
These sawblade earrings perfectly combine rough with polished. The middle has a Swarovski crystal, surrounded by sterling silver. These are tiny too, about the size of a dime each. ($29)
This Birdcage cluster is a wonderfully unique piece. The three dimensional birdcage is too cute, and even has a little arch for the door. There is also a star in there, it’s hiding behind the bird in the picture. ($50)
