Some of our favorite antique, retro and vintage finds on Instagram throughout July 2017
July 4th for me is the time when summer kicks into full gear. It’s the time for mini breaks and beach vacations. But it seems that some jewelers never takes time off, at least the dealers and stores which carry some of Bejeweled Mag’s favorite antique, retro and vintage pieces. Even when the shops close down and dealers are away, they are still posting their wares on Instagram and much to my delight, July was no exception. There were numerous jewels to scroll through, from the international stores and dealers, who consistently post exquisitely detailed pieces of distinctive quality and various time periods. We are excited to see what the month of August brings, during a time when many of our European favorites are on full holiday. Stay tuned for our next monthly installment and until then have a look at some of the jewels we coveted throughout July into the beginning of August 2017.
