There are many Vintage inspired, Retro and Antique Style pieces in my collection. Some of them are made of brass, antique gold and antique silver. I have always liked retro style clothes, accessories, jewelry, music... People say that the new is well forgotten old. Maybe that's why I sometimes create pieces like these.
Trying on those things makes us go back in time - where we have never been or have been as children, but do not remember much about it. It is like a time machine, and I think the only way to get back in time is getting into that time machine - look at old pictures, touch all those clothes and accessories, put them on, look at ourselves in the mirror and imagine ourselves next to our parents or grandparents when they were young, like in a movie...
All these things remind us of old times - times that seem to be long ago. Then we go through belongings of our family members left in the attics of our houses and all these things make us feel like we are in the past.
We remember being happy and excited just looking at those things. We memorize that unique and unrepeatable feeling after putting on grandma's jewelry or grandpa's bowler hat or holding his fancy cane in our hands...
Even later, taking something out of an old chest or a music box, we still think of ourselves as a part of that generation, feel someone's past in our possessions. We feel warm and light inside; we feel somehow connected...
All jewelry items are made by Levine Jewelry.
