J. Crew & Lulu Frost Create Vintage Inspired Jewels for the Holidays

Just in time for the holiday season, this latest J. Crew collaboration will put a sparkle in their holiday catalog. I'm really loving the bracelet with the delicate crystals pieces (shown below). Prices seems a bit high, ranging from $75 - 175, but I'll probably give in come December. According to Daily Front Row, selected timeless pieces from Lisa Salzer's, Lulu Frost's designer, extensive archives as the basis of the collection. Salzer used handmade chains, antiqued glass crystals, and touches of 10-carat gold for this collection.

Salzer is known for her vintage inspired jewelry. Her grandmother worked in the estate fine jewelry business for 30 years. Inspired by the gorgeous Victorian, Deco, and Nouveau pieces that surrounded her throughout her childhood, her jewelry reinterprets these antique pieces by combining them with unexpected modern elements.

I'm all about browsing flea markets and my mother's jewelry box for vintage pieces, so I'm loving this collaboration.
