Good luck and share your finds :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-vintage-necklace#post-79495 Fri, 17 Jul 2009 08:09:14 +0000 Ele 79495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for bumping this, San! </p> <p>Thanks, Angie- that makes perfect sense. That was my first thought, but then I had a momentary lapse of confidence and started to worry that a "V" shaped style might look too matchy or something. I'm heading out in a few hours- looking forward to reporting back! </p> <p>Rest assured I'll be back on the forum next week! These last few days have been filled with long walks around London, galleries, eating out and (window) shopping. It's a bit more exhausting than my usual schedule, but it's so fun to live like a tourist now and then </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-vintage-necklace#post-79376 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 22:29:48 +0000 Angie 79376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ever thoughtful Sandy. Ele *is* on a different time zone too. Thanks for bumping. </p> <p>Exciting, Ele! I’ve missed you on the forum. </p> <p>The most important part about the necklace is that it fits into the “V” of the dress. Think bib necklace, large pendants and Y-chains. A chunky round necklace is not quite as good for a V-neckine. Pearls, tarnished silver or gold are very vintage and you can take your pick. So are garnets and rubies. Am I making any sense? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-vintage-necklace#post-79338 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 20:05:23 +0000 Anonymous 79338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great question Ele.<br /> I am bumping this for you so it doesn't get lost. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-vintage-necklace#post-79302 Thu, 16 Jul 2009 17:41:32 +0000 Ele 79302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to Portobello market tomorrow (I have a friend visiting me this week and she wants to see it), and since I don't go into that part of the city too often, I thought that it would be a good time to scout jewelry for the wedding I'm going to in October. </p> <p>Quick reminder of my dress:<br /> <a href="http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/uu140/EleYLF/black%20whistles%20dress/dressfront.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i641.photobucket.com/al.....sfront.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/uu140/EleYLF/black%20whistles%20dress/bodice.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i641.photobucket.com/al.....bodice.jpg</a></p> <p>You suggested a vintage necklace to go with this, and I completely agree. I know that I want something really statement-y, but am unsure of what styles I should be looking at. Are you seeing something beaded (like pearls?), or more of a pendant or bib style? Any thoughts on colours/materials to look for? Obviously I'm not going to be wearing my dress tomorrow, and returns are impossible, so I just want to go with a good idea of what I'm looking for </p>
