Vintage Christian Dior Jewelry
So I scored a Mary Quant black stretch skirt at Bendel's during
the summer (waving to Frayed!), then a pair of ivory 'n black patent slingbacks
with squared-off toe and chunky heel (very mod, to my eye) at a thrift shop.
Finally, I matched up a 3/4-sleeve horizontal white/black striped sweater at
Arden B. (the white stripes are angora!). However, I am having amazing and
surprising difficulty finding appropriate jewelry. Silver is wrong, obviously,
as are marcasite, onyx, etc. I need MOD JEWELRY! I saw a watch with a wide
white patent leather band and I'll probably get that but I cannot find the
right earrings or bracelet.
Help me, Obi Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope! Seriously, a.f., what do y'all
recommend? Anybody come across anything black and/or white with clean lines,
probably rounded and shiny and plastic
What fun! FWIW, you might try spending an hour or so perusing "Mod" in the
vintage jewelry section on ebay. I think you would get some ideas there.
After that, it might be worthwhile to stop in at one of the really cheap
accessory stores in the mall. And a good sewing store might be a source if
you decide to go with long strands of beads, which, iirc, were de rigeur for
those mod outfits in the 60s. (Think "beaded curtains"
