Rewind a decade to my high school days – I remember longing for all the clear accessories that lined the shelves of “juniors” stores at the local mall. I opted for the see-through buckle clasp handbag and dainty rhinestone-accented Lucite heels to attain the desired look.
Jumping back into present reality, here comes clear (again). On the pages of W, walking down the runways at fashion shows, weighing down socialites’ wrists. I admit, the second spin on transparent is looking good. Here’s my eco-take.
Buzz Melting Point Earrings: These vintage Lucite dangling trapezoids hang from vintage silver-plated chains. The hooks are sterling silver and allergy safe. ($22)
Modern Vintage Leaf Ring: This unique ring is made with Luxane, a state-of-the-art environmentally friendly polyurethane resin that is then heat treated with brass leaf. Each piece is handmade and one-of-a-kind. ($35)
Modern Vintage Silver Leaf Bracelet: Cast in Luxane resin with pure silver leaf, these bangles give a subtle bling. ($100)
Entangles Lucite Bead Necklace: A timeless piece of vintage costume jewelry, this necklace is made with beads of different shapes and sizes, some with a slight frost.
