Target has been offering limited-edition jewelry by big-name designers, but now there's a new twist in mass-market jewelry retailing: Club Monaco will be selling vintage jewelry at their Beverly Hills and New York stores. Interesting concept, given that most of the masses won't be able to obtain these one-of-a-kind pieces.
Last year, J. Crew sold 1970's Rolex watches. (I wasn't able to find any official press releases, but I did see this blog post with a screen shot.) I'm not sure whether they're continuing their vintage offerings, but their fall jewelry collection is gorgeous: pearls, crystals, chains, ribbons — and it looks very vintage-y.
And, if you don't live in New York or L.A., you can still find lots of mixed-media statement pieces at Club Monaco.
I'm curious to see how this vintage-at-the-mall trend develops.
