This isstretching the term 'vintage' somewhat but it means that jewellery from thenoughties will be someone's 'vintage' find of the future. So treat the piecesyou buy today with care as in the future your grandchildren or greatgrandchildren could be wearing it and be the envy of all their friends.

Look futuristicor retro, create a Forties vibe for your outfit or channel the Sixties buzz, itdoesn't matter so long as you are being an individual and creative. No one lookis dictated, only your imagination is the limit.
So what will happen in 2010 on the accessoriesfront? Well the past will continue to be a strong influence on the future, it'swhere we come from that matters so we will also harbour great affection forvintage and antique pieces, eager to update them or create our own speciallook.
But while we look to the past for inspirationthere will be lots of key modern items to give voice to the times we live inright now. 2009 gave us some great tubular futuristic metal necklaces,industrial pewter looking cuffs, huge chunky necklaces, lots of colourful flatbead shapes infused with marbling. 2010 and beyond will see these stylesdeveloping even further, more inspiration will come from the Far East wheretheir genius production knows no bounds. More people will experiment withmaking their own jewellery to fit their individual style as many will havelearnt lessons from the dark days of recession and know that homemade doesn'tmean there has to be a compromise on style. Also it is a great way to make abit of extra cash by selling pieces to friends or setting up a little business.
The recession has to end some time and althoughwe will feel singed and sorry in many ways, the human spirit will triumph,beauty and the passion for fashion will continue to thrive.
