I got a compliment the first time I wore these out, at an art museum gala no less. The design is simple and elegant with a hint of history in the symbol. It doesn't seem to represent any googlable ancient Egyptian symbol, but the best description I can come up with is: triangle spiral symbol. It's got more style and elegance than its price tag would suggest.

Detailed Battenburg lace is elegant and a great accessory to compliment any victorian attire.  The assembly is a bit cheap, but still clean and worth the price.  Even the nibs on the ends of the umbrella arms are wood, and my sister loves her gift!

Not as flashy as they appear in the photos, and a tad smaller than I expected, but I really like these hoop earrings on my wife. She normally wears subtly styled earrings so these suit here nicely. Up to a couple of feet away, they indeed appear antique. There are no gems, but gold with rose gold accent and heart scrollwork along the bottom, they are very classy. They have a sparkle that makes a viewer think they MIGHT have gems from several feet away. My wife's sensitive ears suffered no irritation from these and the only really problem I can think of is that my 11 year old daughter likely wants to whisk them away. The click-top clasp I can see perhaps wearing over time, but for not it holds them shut nicely and is easy to open by feel. The gift box is understated yet of quality, so it makes for a lovely presentation.

If the woman in your life likes this kind of style, why not spoil her a little? I'm not sure for the price that they are solid gold, and for a 10K mix, some might find them a little pricy.

I received several pieces of jewelry from the Orrous & Co's Legacy Collection, and am absolutely amazed by how beautiful they are, how well they are constructed, and how nicely they fit. Each piece of this fashion jewelry set that we received seems well constructed, sparkles beautifully and highly resembles an item that you would expect to pay much more for. I like them, our college-age daughter likes then, her best friend likes them... very nice.

This dangle-style earring set could be worn for an evening at the Kennedy Center or a night out on the town. They are elegant, and are listed as being 18k gold plated (and look like it), and the six Cubic Zirconia stones running down the length of the drop all glisten wonderfully in the light. Each stone is of slightly larger size than the one above it, and the piece is finished with a pearl made from shell at the bottom. The end result is a classy, fun design that could go with just about any attire.

The set is lightweight, meaning it does not add undue stress to my ear, and the piece drops down a total of just about 1.5 inches from the stud (which is also capped with a nice CZ). The listing description says "1.56 inches" to be exact. Perfect for a night on the town, given the excellent worry-free price.

The set arrived in a felt lined jewelry box; it is a very nice box if thinking about gifting or for storage, though it would have been nice if the box had been designed at least 1/4 longer to properly allow the earrings to sit inside lengthwise. No issue there at all, just one of those 'would have been nice to have' kinda things.

The Amazon listing includes a very strong commitment from Orrous that states: "ORROUS & CO offers a full 3-Year warranty covering manufacturing and material defects". It further notes "We GUARANTEE complete satisfaction on your ORROUS & CO Legacy Collection Fine Jewelry purchase." Wow. If problem arises within that timeframe, I will return here to describe what occurred and how resolution was handled. I did receive this set gratis from the seller and have inspected and worn it in order to objectively find out how well it looked, felt, and was constructed. My statements here reflect that testing.

If you are considering the purchase of fashion jewelry of this style, size, color, price and composition, then this set from the Orrous Legacy Collection might be just the piece of jewelry that you have been seeking. I think that it is cute, affordable and seemingly very well constructed, and would recommend to others based on my experience with it. Very nicely done.

Highly recommended.

Go for it.

Saw this watch at Kohl's and fell in love - the photos don't do it justice.  It really gleams and looks much more expensive than its price would indicate. I love the thinness of this watch (works for women) and the wider-than-normal silver bezel which gives it a vintage feel.  Another unusual thing about this watch is that its face does not appear as snow white under most lighting.  In fact, in certain lights it looks like a cream or linen color and this makes it look classier and different from other watches.  The band has a shiny brown patent plastic coating.  I don't know if it's partially leather underneath, but the full effect = plastic so I strongly recommend getting a better band.  Also, even though I love this watch, it can be difficult to read the time due to the hands being thin silver and the second hand competes for attention.

With a swiss ETA 2836 and a beautiful retro inspired design with modern updates, you really can't go wrong here especially at this price point. I did not buy mine on Amazon, but I have owned it for about 6 months now and it is by far my favorite piece in the collection. The bracelet is very thick as is the case, the watch has an overall heft to it that I really enjoy. The 28,800 bph movement is super smooth and readily servicable at most watch shops if you decide to skip Tissot service. The blue dial really pops in the sun and turns to a midnight blue in the absence of light. It goes perfectly with my navy suit. I wear mine while I bartend and it has seen its share of bumps and knocks, but shrugs them off just fine, especially the black bezel, which I originally thought would scratch quite easily. If you've had your eye on one of these, I highly suggest picking one up.

Beautiful and elegant, I am happy to own a few of these for my collection.

I love the Vintaj product line.  They have such a variety of beautiful metal components -- natural brass, copper, pewter, and black art deco.

This 1" clock face is from their natural brass line and it has a vintage look to it with its raised relief roman numerals and rich caramel brown color. Unlike Vintaj's&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/filigree/dp/B004Y0VTAW/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">filigree</a>&nbsp;brass pieces, this particular piece is more rigid and can't be easily twisted and manipulated around other pieces.  You can, however, use a&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/dapping-block/dp/B0033C2Z9G/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">dapping block</a>&nbsp;to very gradually work it into a slightly convex or concave shape.  The Vintaj product line also carries a dapping block, but it's made of wood which I don't find as effective as the heavier metal ones.

There are less expensive options for metal clock faces with a vintage look.  These&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Tim-Holtz-Metal-Timepieces/dp/B003BGXUL6/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Tim Holtz Metal Timepieces</a>&nbsp;sell for less and include 5 various size clock faces (1.25," 1.50," and 1.75").

The natural metal surface on all of the Vintaj pieces can be enhanced by using&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/metal-patinas/dp/B007JL260A/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">metal patinas</a>&nbsp;and then buffing the raised (relief) areas with the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/metal-relief-block/dp/B004VYYF2U/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">metal relief block</a>&nbsp;for added luster.

For wonderful inspiration for fun and creative jewelry, it's worth a visit to their website to see their gorgeous photos of finished pieces...each using many various pieces of the Vintaj line. Amazon doesn't allow other websites to be posted, but it's easy to find by googling "Vintaj." There are also a number of YouTube videos on different techniques.

I went looking for a vintage-styled camera strap for a 70's-era SLR and, having weighed various options from eBay, Etsy and other sources, settled on this one from Capturing Couture.

My initial impressions of this strap is that it is even more attractive in person than pictured. The needlework is well crafted, and there are no loose threads or seams. Thread coloring is not quite as saturated in color as pictured, but still very beautiful.

The needlework smock is sewn firmly to a modern-looking nylon strap, with hidden padding at the shoulder/neck area. It's finished with a velvet end piece that is sewn and riveted on to the connecting hardware, which is solid enough, and then to a more narrow (1/4"? 3/8"?) strip of nylon that conforms to camera strap loops on modern cameras. It looks like it would fit any modern DSLR and possibly smaller mirrorless/P&S cameras.

If you're going for an authentic vintage look, well, nobody's going to mistake you for Willie Nelson. Most straps of the era had leather end caps attaching to swivel clips in place of the skinny nylon straps. The velvet end pieces don't feel as high-quality as the rest of the materials either. That said, the needlework and vintage-inspired pattern are enough to make this strap a practical work of art.

Also, beware, there's a pretty large "Capturing Couture" label across one end of the strap, with a tiny crystal attached to dot the 'i'. I could do without it.

This Set of 2 CaliTime 18" x 18"  Vintage Floral Throw Pillow Covers are Extremely Elegant!
The Polyester, Jacquard Fabric that these pillow covers are made of has a Beautiful Sheen and the Embroidered Vintage Floral Design is flawless.

I love that the  Design is featured on Both the Front and Back of the Cover. I also love that they can be displayed in any direction.
The Silvery White and Gold Embroidery Thread is slightly raised against the Teal background, adding to the Luxurious Appearance of these well constructed Throw Pillow Covers offer.

Each seam of these Throw Pillow Covers features a Double Row of  Stitching.
The Outer Row of stitching is Locked to prevent the covers from coming apart at the seams.
There is a 14" long  Metal Zipper hidden on one end of each cover, which allows for simple stuffing of the covers. I was able to easily fit an overstuffed 18" x 18" pillow inside each case.

I received my Set of 2 CaliTime 18" Vintage Floral Pillow Covers in exchange for evaluation and offering my honest, unbiased opinion, which I have provided. Giving them a Well Deserved 5 Star Recommendation!

This was a super inexpensive (deal or steal) at less than 4.00 (no shipping). The quality is probably as expected at this price range, but it's lightweight and not heavy at the neck, and the face has the old fashioned numerals that I like. I like the swirly ornate design; the color is much more yellow gold antiqued than bronzey tone, that was my only visual detraction. I had a hard time opening the watchface at first-- you have to push down hard on the small dial on the top, you pull it out to set the correct time. The back of the watch doesn't seem like it would be accessible if one tried to replace a battery. plus paying for a new battery would probably not be worthwhile when a new watch costs less than $5. If you like this design, i would suggest buying several so you have back ups when the battery runs dead.

Exactly as described...perfect accent for "vintage" outfits.

Comfortable, easy to assemble, and a fraction of the price of Design Within Reach or Room & Board. A designer friend turned me on to these when I was bemoaning the cost of the high-end reproductions. He said he'd used them and liked them, so I gave it a shot. He suggested painting the legs, and I might sometime, but the natural color is fine for now. Fantastic Mid-Century look that won't break the bank.

I recently came across a review of the Seiko recraft on ablogtowatch.com from June 6, 2015, by Matt Diehl. It was a glowing review of a unique, and affordable timepiece from Seiko. I was intrigued and decided to order.

Pros:
-The look. I think this watch appeals to certain sensibilities, and not everyone will be a fan. Personally, I think it looks incredible. The dial is a deep, reflective green, that looks bold but tasteful in any light. The orange second hand, relatively large case and the curved sides of the case keep the overall appearance decidedly contemporary. Yet the gold accents at the hour marks, combined with the gold minute and hour hands, are a distinct reminder of the wristwatches my father wore more than thirty years ago.
-The movement. This is by no means a high end automatic movement. But Seiko's 7S26 movement has been around for years, and is a dependable component in a watch in this price range.
-Features. Setting the day and date complications is easy. Not pictured on the product page is an exhibition case back. The watch is water resistant to 165 ft.
-Price. At $149.00, this is a unique, well-made, automatic watch at an excellent price point.

Cons:
-The Bracelet. In his review, Mr. Diehl writes "The lightly tapered oyster-style bracelet with signed buckle feels more substantial than one might expect and looks great  its an organic part of the whole watch." I have to disagree on this point. The bracelet feels cheap, and has a finish that is not consistent with the case itself. I plan to replace the bracelet with a leather strap. After searching for images of the Seiko recraft with leather bands, I think a leather strap maximizes the vintage aesthetic and overall appeal of this striking time piece.
-No lume. I'm not certain that lume could have been easily integrated into the design of the watch, without compromising the intended look. However, it is a notable limitation.

Conclusion:
In my opinion, this is a stunning looking watch that successfully combines modern design cues with nicely executed nostalgic touches. The price is unreal for an automatic watch with a dependable movement and great looks. I would love to see if offered with an optional leather band, but I can certainly take care of that on my own. As noted above, the "vintage" recraft look will not appeal to everyone, but I think the Seiko recraft automatic is well worth the modest price for anyone seeking a distinctive watch.

Purchased this little 2" bottle pendant as an inexpensive addition to my Ganesh collection and was pleasantly surprised at its quality.  The 3-D design is charming, intricate, and very precisely detailed!  It's lightweight, nicely tinted for a subtle marble-y effect, the front and back sides are identical.

Personally, I intend to wear it (or display it) for it's decorative value, rather than using as an impossibly small container.  Not quite sure what the 'hemp or leather' part of the official description refers to --possibly a suggestion for type of chain or hanging throng?  Anyway, these bobbles apparently come in a variety of shapes in addition to Ganesh, so they might make good holiday stocking stuffers after I match the design with the recipients' interests.
