Mix it and fix it! The world is going gaga over some unique jewellery pieces from the 70s and 80s. When looking to make a distinct statement, don’t just mix your metals, but also eras. For example, mix a 2000s funky bracelet with a 70s or 80s pendant and create a unique look that tells your story.


2. Stack Them High
Stacked look or layered look is trending these days and our aim is to keep you up with the trend. It’s time to get out those beautiful pre-owned gold bangles from various decades and mix them with other bracelets or bangles to create a stacked look.
