{"title":"ANTIQUE \u0026 VINTAGE JEWELRY","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI always start with an archetype I want to work with, : Earrings, Necklace, Bracelet, Ring, Brooch, etc. I often have in mind a special story or Myth (the Egyptian Goddess of the Sky : Nut for instance.)\u2028To this idea, I free associate, gathering, images of art pieces, interior design, places I visited, in which I find an atmosphere and inspiring techniques. I have a large collection of vintage pieces and I rattle about in my boxes to find the pieces that work together to create the piece that is the representation of the idea.\u2028I work by collage, creating a perpetual mix between myths and stories of old, my very first loves in terms of contemporary fashion, and my collection of vintage pieces. It does all come from out of the fashion sphere.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe history of each piece is important. Who made it for whom and why. Man has engaged in Body Adornment in some way or another since first thought. To adorn oneself is a celebration of self, an act of self love first and foremost. We dress to please ourselves first, then perhaps our friends, family and lovers. The vintage pieces that I use have a sense of energy through their past, and a quality that is difficult to find in new items these days. I most often use new old stock, which means that the components were designed and made in a vintage era for jewelers, but never used. These pieces occupy spaces in history and bring a challenge in reimaging them anew for a contemporary wearer.\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/3798\/3960\/files\/O1CN01t8lXTC1DGbpdSIxBq___31030189.jpg_q50.jpg?v=1727536899\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/3798\/3960\/collections\/1040g0083147itttfk6005o6206n8573o3t6p320_nc_n_webp_mw_1.png?v=1727764385","url":"https:\/\/www.madrigaljewelry.com\/collections\/antique-vintage-jewelry.oembed","provider":"Madrigaljewelry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
