Things You'll Need:
- Assortment of vintage jewelry
- Bobby pins
-
Step 1
Finding vintage jewelry is easy with sources like eBay. But if you're more of a visual shopper, hit up local antique malls, stores, boutiques and fairs, where vendors bring their wares from as far as Europe and Asia.
-
Step 2
Wearing vintage jewels couldn't be easier. Often more luxe, bold and glamorous, vintage jewelry is usually crafted in a very elaborate manner. That means the pieces stand out on their own, so pair them with simpler styles and colors so they don't compete with your clothing.
-
Step 3
Being inventive with your jewelry can present a lot of options. For instance, instead of wearing your rhinestone brooch on your lapel, pin it in your hair. Tuck some strands of hair behind your ear and attach the brooch on the side by crisscrossing two bobby pins to hold it in place.

Step 4
Alternative options for earrings include placing two identical pairs onto the front of a shoe. This will provide a focal point and a little added glitz to a simple black sheath.
-
Step 5
Finally, if you have a plethora of necklaces, layer them on top of each other or wrap around your wrist. Vintage jewelry doesn't always have to be used for the purpose it was intended for.
