Gold Signet Anchor Ring from Balenciaga

Posted on | Leave a comment

Signetanchor

Thanks in part to Sailor Jerry's now iconic tattoo designs, nautical emblems have now become an unmistakeable part of retro fashion culture, inspiring prints and logos throughout fifties inspired clothing. This Gold Signet Anchor Ring from Balenciaga allows a subtle nod to fifties style that can be paired with any outfit.

Made from brass, the yellow gold shade has an instantly vintage look, with the signet design tying into the ring's nautical inspiration too. The engraved anchor design is simple and classic, drawing on a retro feel without looking cartoonish or over the top.

It's available online from Matches Fashion for £225.

The brooch is in the shape of a vintage Citroen car, cut from rock maple wood with a brass clasp on the back. It would look cute pinned to the lapel of a retro-style jacket. It costs Australian $29 (around £19) plus an extra $9.90 for international shipping (free if you are in Australia).

Buy it online from Naomi Murrell’s Big Cartel store.

Second hand shopping can often be a treasure trove for eighties fashion lovers, with plenty of original pieces still to be found among the rails of charity shops and vintage boutiques alike. When it comes to accessories like earrings, however, sometimes it's best to opt for faithful reproductions like these Trudy Earrings from Fred Flare.

Made with an art deco inspired edge, the original pair that inspired these reproductions were most likely made in the eighties. The turquoise and gold combination instantly speaks of the decadence of that era's fashion, while an oversized square shape is sure to get these noticed.

They're available now from Fred Flare for $10 a pair.
