This past Halloween I was walking down Newbury Street, enjoying the beautiful foliage, when I caught something in the corner of my eye - a couple of women and two trunks of treasure.
Venus in Furs Jewelry is focused on creating unique pieces of jewelry centered on a piece of art. As self-professed Gustav Klimt fans, many of their lockets, earrings and rings feature small replicas of his famous artwork.
After running to the ATM to get cash (I very rarely carry cash, the fact that I literally RAN to Bank of America should tell you something about these pieces), I had the hard task of choosing which one I wanted to take home. There were beautiful earrings with cameo faces and rings with hummingbirds painted delicately in the center.
I tried on a couple of the necklaces before settling on one with a locket featuring a small cameo face:
On the inside is a beautiful painting of a tree - bonus points to the person who can name that painting:
The damage? $30. A little steep you might say, but the designer actually threw in a charm necklace for free, which sells for $12 on her online boutique. It's a dainty little key that hangs off an equality delicate chain, perfect for dressing up an outfit or for wearing casually.
Vintage or vintage-inspired jewelry can add a lot to an outfit and really make a statement without having to break the bank.
