I’m Wendy, founder and owner of Vintage Adornments. My love for vintage jewellery began aged five as I played with my Nanna’s jewellery box. It never ended. My fixation on the sparkle and quality of jewellery from years gone by still abides. The mass-produced pieces of today, with their cheap metals and fast techniques, just don’t make the individual statement that jewellery used to. Sadly, many jewellery types from history: dress clips, shoe clips, brooches and clip earrings have become obsolete - left unworn to fall into disrepair. I made it my mission to rescue and adapt them into a format relevant for today to be enjoyed once again. Now we can all embrace a little sparkle back into our lives without overly consuming masses of new, unnecessary items. I hope you love my hand-rescued pieces as much as I enjoy giving them new life.
