I am slightly obsessed with monograms on vintage items. Handbags, sweaters, jewelry- you name it. Even if it's not my monogram, I want to buy it and wear it and wonder what was the name of the person bearing those initials.
I have a few monogram pieces of my own, which are some of my most treasured things. My great grandma's gold monogram brooch, a gift from my great grandpa. Her name was Alma Florence Leaver.
Two lucite "B" brooches. I love these because they are clear, I can wear them with anything. Since they are my absolute favorite brooch, I bought two in case tragedy struck one of them, I'd have a back up.
I have been in search of something vintage with my monogram on it for years. Wouldn't that be amazing- a lady who lived during the 40s or 50s with my exact initials and I happened to find her jewelry? I've rummaged through antique malls and online but so far, no luck so I was very excited to hear from Onecklace, specializing in name and initial necklaces.
I chose a small circle monogram necklace in silver with a dainty, short chain. It arrived in a beautiful and sturdy little gift box and is just as timelessly elegant as it can be! They had different sizes available but I love the small circle- a bit larger than a quarter and it's something I can wear with anything. For 1930s lovers out there, they also have some beautiful jewelry with bold deco style lettering.

I love monograms too! I have shower curtains that have ours on it heheh We got it when we got married. I just recently got an purse with a large white L on it-whoot! That necklace is so pretty, pretty. Pieces like that are classic and can be wore with anything or all day long xox
ReplyDeleteHow wonderfully lovely! I've always wanted a lucite "J" brooch, too, but have yet to come across one. It's so cool that you bought a backup "S" just in case - that's something I could totally see myself doing as well.
ReplyDeleteI love your classic skirt and blouse combo here, sweet gal, it compliments the timeless elegance of your new monogram necklace so well.

Loving those shoes!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhile playing "dress-up" one year with my grandma's old jewelry, I noticed several monogrammed pieces-- they all had the letter B which confused me, her name being Ayriel. When asked about it she told me the B was for "Bunny", "because everyone called me that." ;) It's one of my favorite memories and spawned my own love of monogrammed jewelry and the history behind each piece.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous necklace!

Lovely necklace! I'm the proud owner of a 1940s cigarette case with the original monogram being the same as my name, LMC. It's one of my favorite vintage pieces!
ReplyDeleteI love this! But I gotta ask, how did you get your hair in that gorgeous bun? I think my hair is about like yours, but when I try to do that, I have pieces sticking out all over the place. Not to mention the fact that it's messy and small.

ReplyDeleteWhenever you are shopping for fine jewellery at a retail store or online, one of the hardest things to do is assess the true value of the jewelry you are about to purchase. This is particularly difficult when purchasing designer jewelry as the value is inflated by the name and popularity of the label. The Diamond Club
