    Vintage Inspirations: Oil Slick Metallics

    Calling all night chameleons! This week we parade vintage with dark iridescence, spurred on by a showy F/W 2020 runway trend. And of course, vintage was first with this carnival glass opulence …unless you’re counting bird wings, the insides of shells, and northern lights in a night sky—all supreme inspiration! Look for aurora borealis crystal jewelry in deep hues, dark iridescent fabrics, and beaded and sequined items with this timeless glow.
