The look of vintage with its decorated elements, flower motives and lots of samll crystals can always be a great start for creations, and you can always use the elements and colors in a slightly different way that will bring something new and refreshing to the genre.
Here you can see the complete Vintage collection with many more metal setting elements, and other bases for jewelry making!
The metal plating which is mostly used for these kind of metal elements and bases are the antique copper, brass and silver colors because they beautifully bring out their decorated surface.
In these jewelry items you can see that when you use even just one stone, or a small crystal, but with a strong red or pink color, it brings out a fresh and dramatic look which is very trendy at the moment.
Two tips for DIY making, you can see right here:
1. The flower patterned caboshons are a great and simple addition, that will make any simple flat back earrings look well made and stylish in a second.
2. We have many decorated filigree bases which you can use just as they are, but you can easily upgrade them with a sparkly crystal embedding element glued on top, as you can see right here.
Have a great time designing and crafting!
