Look, Wen Hao, we are the window of jewels and jade!
Chatting with several young ladies about vintage, one of them really questioned his soul. She asked whether vintage is a clothing brand or a jewelry brand, and why many people always praise vintage in a book. In fact, I was so confused when I didn't know, and I listened to others discussing vintage with a blank face. It feels like a primary school student listening to a group of high school students discussing questions, but I don't understand and dare to ask.
In fact, vintage is not a clothing brand or a jewelry brand. This is an old English name. Vintage simply means "old". It originated and multiplied in cheap second-hand shops, but it is not the same as old ones. It embodies a mature and eternal classic charm.
Simply put, classic clothes can be worn in the past, now and in the future. They are not only designed to cater to the fashion of the season. They can be worn at any time, ten years ago and ten years later.
Now retro has more content, not only clothes, but also a style, so retro accessories have become the favorite of many girls. For example, the angels in Sister Lang 2, from clothes to jewelry, are dressed in retro style, which has aroused heated discussion among many girls. Many girls expressed their envy of Angel and even clamored to see Angel's jewelry box opened.
However, not all old jewelry can be called retro jewelry. As mentioned above, retro jewelry can't be simply equated with old jewelry. It is old but exquisite and durable. Roughly speaking, that was 20 years ago, but today it still makes us look exquisite and tasteful.
Some friends may say that the jewels in the museum are all retro jewels. No, frankly speaking, although retro jewelry is also classic, it can't be compared with the jewelry in the museum, because the jewelry in the museum has a more appropriate name called antique.
Retro-style jewelry is like well-made "second-hand goods". There may be many stories on it, but the jewelry in the museum is of historical value, which is the essential difference between the two. Therefore, we can't simply treat retro jewelry as an old object, nor can we rudely compare it with jewelry in museums.
It is like a delicate beauty with her own life experience, its connotation and times. The years passed and faded without becoming rough and mottled. Its beauty is like wine, the longer it gets, the better it gets. People you like should drink slowly.
Its beauty, like the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River falling into the night with the wind, will gently enter your heart, and then burn off the traces of stone dripping drop by drop. Sometimes I think it's like a beautiful phonograph. Although it is very old, whenever it is circulated, it will release its unique and charming voice.
However, many friends think that retro-style jewelry is still suitable for the minority, because even if it is not as good as the jewelry in the museum, it will cost a lot of money. This is indeed the case. Just like those retro clothes of angels in Sister Lang 2, many of them are limited edition and showy, which are not only expensive, but also not necessarily available.
Perhaps those luxury brands have grasped this point, so some classic luxury brands such as Grandma Xiang and Dior will be fired at sky-high prices from time to time. I want to say that all the rich netizens here understand, so I won't give many examples.
On the other hand, retro jewelry does have its charm, but it is not recommended that friends blindly pursue and collect it. In my opinion, it is like jade, not as terrible as sea water, but it can also wet shoes and freeze feet, especially those luxury brands. If we can't even identify ourselves, we might as well watch from a distance.
I once heard a friend say that someone borrowed money online for a pair of legendary aj, and the result was really miserable. Shoes are true and false, and the consequences of online loans are overwhelming. Therefore, in the same way, although retro-style jewelry looks good, it should also be done according to one's ability.
We can learn to appreciate the different beauty brought by different jewels, but we should think twice before stepping into this door. Finally, do friends like retro jewelry? What does it look like in your eyes? If you think you have different ideas, please share them.
