Vintage Plastic Jewelry

!±8± Vintage Plastic Jewelry

Vintage Jewelry made from non-precious metals and glass or from plastics, sometimes called costume jewelry, if it's stylish, is expensive. It doesn't matter what material is used in it's manufacture, if it's cool it's going to cost money. Plastic vintage and retro jewelry used to be cheap and could usually be found in thrift shops for a few pence. Not any more though. Plastic jewelry is becoming more and more difficult to find and good decorative pieces rarely appear in charity shops anymore.

The first pieces of plastic jewelry I bought were made form a material invented by the Belgian chemist, Dr Leo Baekeland around 1908 that he named Bakelite. Bakelite did not readily conduct electricity or heat and consequently it was used extensively in the manufacture of electrical products. It could be moulded into extravagant shapes, perfect for the period and probably most famously, for the manufacture of radio casings. It was once even considered as a substitute for metal in the production of the one-cent coin.

Lots of jewelry was manufactured in this hard brittle substance, particularly chunky, colourful brooches. Considered to be the first "fashion jewellery", often copying designer jewelry of the period made from more expensive materials. Manufactured in a variety of colours from the familiar dark brown of early electrical fittings, the reds and greens of vintage picnic sets to the black of kitchen appliances. It was common to find black Bakelite handles or knobs on furniture or coupled with silver, silver plate or chrome - particularly on tea and coffee sets - as decorative knops or handles. It was very popular on dressing tables too, where it made a very good substitute for tortoiseshell.

Although invented much earlier than Bakelite, being a by-product of the photographic processing industry and used, like Bakelite, as a substitute for more expensive materials, Celluloid was highly flammable and did not really come into it's own until the 1920's. In 1927 a new non-flammable material, marketed by the Celluloid Corporation under the trade name "Lumarith" was launched. This material could be manufactured in bright, sometimes lurid colours or transparent with inclusions, like coloured or metal flakes. New injection moulding techniques meant large quantities of plastic objects could be produced quickly and cheaply, in almost any shape or size. Designers quickly realised the possibilities and enormous quantities of inexpensive plastic jewelry appeared on the market in the USA and Europe in bold colourful designs. Brightly coloured vintage accessories like powder compacts, lipsticks, cigarette cases, sunglasses and even handbags were also manufactured in Celluloid for an eager audience.

In 1933 Lucite or Plexiglas hit the market and was quickly incorporated into jewelry design, often mixed with Celluloid or Bakelite for effect. Brooches made with Lucite overlaid with moulded Celluloid cameos were very popular and easily found in vintage & retro shops today. Some Lucite jewelry, bracelets, brooches and pendants was reverse carved, often with flowers coloured naturalistically to appear lifelike, or left unpainted to resemble etched glass.

Whatever plastic vintage jewellery is made from it is usually exciting and colourful and, if you are fortunate, it can still be bought relatively inexpensively. But it is becoming more and more popular as the young reject antiques. Dark brown furniture, antique silver, old paintings and antique jewelry are not cool. The young are filling their small apartments with light bright vintage and retro, Scandinavian design, colourful contemporary art and retro lighting. They eat and drink from vintage and retro or Ikea tableware and they collect and wear vintage and retro clothing and jewelry. More shops are opening to cater to this new breed of homemaker and prices are rising quickly. But it is still possible to find a bargain - good hunting.

Why I Love Italian Designer Shoes

!±8± Why I Love Italian Designer Shoes

Italian designer shoes are always in style! With today's changing fashions it can be tough figuring out what type as well as style to purchase and wear. But it doesn't have to be when you purchase and wear quality! Quality never goes out of style. Even with a different style, quality brings a classic look to every wardrobe. And you can be assured; classic quality will never go out of style.

Smart dressers do not follow trends blindly. Instead, they purchase the aspect of a particular trend that appeals to them and incorporate it into their existing wardrobe. I love Italian designer shoes in particular because of their finely crafted detailing. but also because of the consistent, exceptional quality. That means I'll be wearing the best, most intricately designed pair of shoes with classic looks that will not fall flat with my wardrobe. In any style I choose!

In reviewing Italian designer shoe maker, Gianna Meliani, it is discovered that Gianna designs and takes care of her own collection. Her collection is completely produced in Italy, by the shoe factory Gemini, that belongs to Bruno Meliani, Gianna's father. The shoe factory Gemini, was born in 1971 and passing through many legal transformations, is now completely administrated by Mr. Bruno Meliani.

The shoe making activity begins from the creation right through to the production, (cutting joining, assembling) and commercializing fine women's shoes. In order to produce, higher quality shoes, Gianna chooses the most precious kind of leather like calf, kidskin, python, crocodile and so on... Selectivity is what gives this and other great Italian designers an edge in the market as well as a hit with the most satisfied customers who wear them!

Gianna Meliani shoes' collection is sold everywhere in the world. The firm produces mainly the Gianna Meliani collection however; it has worked and is still working with many other famous labels such as: Anne Klein, Anne Klein II, Yves Saint Laurent, Gucci, Max Mara, Michael Kors, Burberry, Paul Smith and more.

"The weight of the body falls on the arch like a plumb line" - wrote Ferragamo, a company which designs shoes, winning the "Neiman Marcus Award" the Oscar of the fashion world and has been in the shoemaking business since 1925. Salvatore Ferragamo a designing shoemaker in Italy is an example of Italian attention to detailing quality in designer shoe wear. You can search the world over and find the absolute best, comes only from Italy. This company became an essential stop off for personalities such as Greta Garbo, Sofia Loren, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor and Audrey Hepburn who all had their shoes made to measure there. Ferragamo saw machinery production as indispensable for the less elaborate work but believed all the rest should be done by hand and under strict human supervision.

No other shoe designers can the world compare to the Italian designers exclusivity in creating the highest quality, detailed, designer shoes. No other companies can compare their history with any favorable measure to the Italian design shoemakers in Italy.

Yes the complete attention to detail in design along with the highest quality of materials and craftsmanship is why I love Italian designer shoes!
