Vintage Jewelry Part 5 of 5
A reader asked in a comment on my last jewelry photo shoot post if she could see some vintage pictures from the past. Ask and ye shall get! Some of the pictures include publicity shots of celebrities and starlets who often, as they still do today, promoted jewelry and all kinds of products.
If you see a gallery bar across some of the pictures, just click on the triangle on the right of the bar to move it out of the way so you can see the entire photo.

Enjoyed the trip into the past, styles may have changed but the theory behind the styles have not. Every era has its idea of elegance and Delores Del Rio is undoubtedly elegant in her simple silk (or satin?) chemise and her long rope of diamonds draped across her most beautiful back.
ReplyDeleteDid have a chuckle over the model wearing the illuminated earrings. Her elaborate lashes give her a look of surprised bewilderment. I can imagine her saying; "Okay, now what do I do with this?"
