Like the little black dress, a string of pearls and the bob, some styles last through the decades.

At Urban Embellishments, vintage materials are transformed into modern, feminine jewelry. The sisters behind the business travel from coast to coast hunting antique French lace and other ornamental pieces for their handmade creations. Every piece tells a story – a rhinestone brooch fastens to decades-old fabric, a monogrammed locket hangs from an antique silver chain. The delicate designs are reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour.

Just because you aren’t having breakfast at Tiffany’s, doesn’t mean you can’t channel your inner Audrey Hepburn.
