I’ve idolized my prim + proper Yiayia since I can remember! It wasn’t just her delicate + feminine mannerisms but her collection of fine vintage jewelry {dating back to the 1950’s}. It wasn’t just the jewels that made my heart smile but her love for expensive shoes + ornate evening bags had me playing “dress up” since I can remember.
Over Christmas my Yiayia {Greek, for Grandmother} passed along some of her delicious mounds of sparkle that I had been eyeing since I was an aspiring little fashionista. Beautiful in a velvet box; which matches my turquoise wall so incredibly perfect. It’s like it was meant to be!
I’m now the grateful owner of a pearl cocktail ring, necklace + 5 pairs of ridiculously gorgeous clip on earrings. It was by far the best gift that I’ve ever received. Ever. Well best gift ever… besides my husband!
Real life vintage jewels! I’m in heaven!
Yiayia told me that most of these date all the way back to the 1940’s + 1950’s!
New Years Eve is awaiting my appearance… me + my Yiayia’s beautiful accessories.
Speaking of New Years… !!!!
