Timeless Curiosities

If you have ever read the About section of my website, you will see that I describe my jewelry as "timeless curiosities." The operative word here is timeless. My hope is that Montage Jewelry will be passed on to future generations because it will never go out of style. I tend to stay away from trends. Have I ever put a skull in any of my jewelry? No. While I think it is fun, edgy and quirky, I don't think it is an element that is timeless. Someone asked me if their necklace from six years ago was still in style. The answer is, "Yes, and hopefully it always will be." To further emphasize that point I thought that it might be time for a walk down memory lane.

Here is a stunning piece from the Montage archives. Honestly, I wish I still owned it. The pop of emerald green is amazing, not to mention that emerald is the Pantone color of the year for 2013. Is this necklace still in style? YOU BETCHA!

And what about this head turner? A sparkling rutilated quartz teardrop is enhanced with an antique cut steel connector and mixed metal chains. Not only will this piece always be in style, you really can wear it with just about anything. Timeless, yes. Versatile, yes. In style today, yes.

Moving on to bedazzling earrings. These pass every test. Eye catching, colorful, classy, timeless, and so on and so forth. If you had bought these five years ago, you would still be enjoying them today. If you own them, congratulations!

Drum roll, please. This antique shoe buckle is one of the prettiest I have ever found. Spectacular shoe buckles like this one are still being incorporated in today's bracelets. Whether you mix them with leather or metal, they always add an interesting touch and are great conversation starters.
