Cadoro Collection: Shop update-Jewelry for some summer color!

Posted on 6:48 AM by fdgdfg

Cadoro has long been loved among vintage collectors and wearers. I definitely hold a torch for this iconic haute hippie brand. I'm also celebrating the Mad museum exhibit/book here in NYC, which contains some of the 4,000 pieces of vintage and designer costume jewelry from the collection of Barbara Berger. I wanted to discuss the Cadoro and celebrate the shop pieces in honor of vintage costume jewelry. There is just something mesmerizing about the colors, textures, fibers, metals, and overall modern yet earthy designs. I of course gravitate towards the largest of the Cadoro pieces, as well as those vibrant fun necklaces- many of which I have in my own vintage jewelry collection.

Read about the history of the brand and the so called NYC "vault. I have a yummy colorful visual feast of Cadoro on the blog, included in shop update and at sarara vintage couture.com

An interview with Diane Love for Trifari: Her Jewelry Designs of the 1970s.

Posted on 8:11 AM by fdgdfg

Diane Love's designs for Trifari have become beloved by vintage jewelry collectors. Since she first began designing in the 70s her for Bergdorf and then Trifari, her work has more than doubled in value. Over the years many designs have been attributed to Love that are indeed not hers, due to the fact that her jewelry for Trifari was not signed. They originally only had an identifying hang tag with her name on it and box. I felt it especially important to interview Diane about her body of work for this reason, as well as to celebrate the jewelry as she intended, as wearable works of art. During the interview process, I learned various details which illustrated the story of her Trifari collections as a whole, as well as how she approached the designing of the pieces. This examination of the specific differences and characteristics of the Diane Love /Trifari collection is discussed below. During her interview she clarified for me the specific characteristics to look for when trying to identify a Diane Love design. You may recognize some of her book pieces, but few have really been archived. The lack of reference material also adds to the misidentification of some Trifari designs as Love's. After she stopped designing for Trifari, they continued to create jewelry with ethnic themes and these are often misattributed to Diane. These brightly colored, less detailed interpretations that Trifari produced were not based on actual artifacts, but were more loose interpretations of cultural art. A very different approach form Diane's.
