As a bride, aren’t you always looking for something different and one of a kind to complete your special day? Vintage jewelry can be a unique accessory to add “something old” to your look that you will not see on any other bride! B Original is an amazing little vintage/retro store where you can find everything from 30′s household items to what peaked our interest, an amazing vintage jewelry selection. Open since October of 2010, it is easy to walk into this store at Town Center Virginia Beach, VA and feel like you have stepped back in time. And brides, you have hit the jackpot! Beverly Mason has been interested in vintage items, especially jewelry for years and B Original is a treasure trove, literally. There was no end of sparkle in this store.
The Uniquely Yours Bridal Showcase is always looking for new and “unique” businesses and vendors that can give our brides ideas and inspiration for their big day. B Original needs to be on your list of must visit places when you are looking for that beautiful vintage piece. We asked Beverly what she thought vintage jewelry could add to your wedding ensemble. She said, ” A uniqueness, a story. It makes you think about who owned this piece and where it has been.” This is well beyond grandma’s old lapel pin, there are so many ways to use the vintage pieces other then just the obvious. They can be placed on a bouquet or in your hair to add some extra glamour, or paired with a vintage purse.
Here are some tips for when you are purchasing vintage jewelry:
• Look for a designer stamp on the back of the piece.
• Pieces that are in their original box will always be more valuable.
• If there is a set, like a pin and earrings they should be kept together.
