What's old is new again. Jewelry trends are cyclical, so what's popular right now probably had a moment in the sun years and years ago too. For instance, chunky gold necklaces were all over the Copenhagen Fashion Week street style scene, and it's far from a new trend. To prove it, I found plenty of amazing vintage options on Etsy, which is my favorite treasure trove for one-of-a-kind pieces.
Etsy also boasts tons of other vintage versions of today's biggest trends. For instance, I recently tapped two L.A. jewelry designers who confirmed that birthstone engagement rings are increasingly popular right now, and you can bet I found pretty vintage options on Etsy. Plus, we received a ton of interest in my story on Prince Harry's ex-girlfriend Cressida Bonas's engagement ring, which is a beautiful example of the "target ring" trend that's all over Etsy. So, without further ado, scroll down to shop my favorite vintage Etsy jewelry from the '20s to the '90s.
