VINTAGE JEWELRY FAVORITES | HOW I STARTED MY COLLECTION

The best of my life long vintage estate jewelry collection! How I acquired it, and how I wear it.
LINKS BELOW:
I'm a long time vintage pro. I've been a high end NY vintage shop owner, have worked on movies and other media, have styled people, and my personal collection remains a source closet for designers and wardrobe directors. Here are some extraordinary jewels, from Victorian lockets, to art deco cameos and midcentury modern sculptural pieces. Use what you've inherited or what you already have in your closet to create your own unique modern personal style! I make new videos every week (or almost every week) subscribe now to see them all! xo ~D Hudson Vintage

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

Hi Sara! I love your channel! Thank you so much for writing and for your kind words, it means a lot! XO~D

[@theflyinhawaiiantravels354]

Luv ur knowledge! I too owned 3 retail stores. My career expanded 35 years. I have been collecting vintage after the sale of my stores for enjoyment. I think I will turn my little vintage collection into a part time business. I am learning so much from you. Thank you for sharing ur BEAUTIFUL COLLECTION.

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

That is awesome! Go GO GO! XO~Dawn

[@kristiedorrance]

You have a great eye and appreciation for a variety of jewelry! Loved seeing your prized collection and background of each cherished piece!! We are beyond lucky to learn from your KZbin Channel!!

[@mickfriel3463]

Getting more like a professional. Well done. In 6 months you will be out of this world.

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

Thanks Mick!

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

It happened! 6 months later! XO~Dawn

[@theresal.525]

I loved that carved jade bracelet. I actually found a pin resembling your carved face bracelet. Very cool! I love collecting pins. Love your fabulous collection of treasures. Thanks for sharing - loved this video!

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

So cool! It took me 20 rears to find the right pin, but I did!

[@nansea6318]

Meet Baby Pinky is beautiful. Thank you for featuring your favorite heart.

[@uniquelyu7627]

OMG! Love, Love, Love that Silver and Jade bracelet!!! Gorgeous pieces!!!

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

Thank you so much!! for watching and writing XO~Dawn

[@caraid9263]

I love hearts, I love sterling, I gasped at the first necklace! In fact today I’m wearing a sterling heart link choker layered with a sterling heart locket on a simple chain! that would def be my signature piece too if it were mine! Love your amazing collection and your channel, thanks for sharing so much with us!

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

Love that! Thanks for watching and commenting Caraid!

[@lisakinney3747]

You can tell how much you love these pieces and that they are a part of your life, not just ornaments. You make me want to take care of my jewelry better. I will be going through my jewelry boxes these weekend and sorting and separating. Thank you!

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

You are so welcome! I tried to email you but it bounced back. Do you have FB or IG? Xo~Dawn

[@olgat3389]

Beautiful collection, amazing content! Would love to see more on attributing vintage jewelry. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge, really appreciate it!

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

Thank you Olga T , I really appreciate the feedback! I have a reference library and a lot of material collected over the years, but the best way is to just look at all you can whenever you can. Go everywhere from museums to flea markets. I make new videos every week and jewelry is my number one discipline so I think it will show up a lot! :)

[@steven_ryan]

I LOVE that silver and jade chunky bracelet. That’s the kind of piece I want to find and work into my wardrobe. Omg.

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

20 years of looking to find something like that. AND I still couldn't believe it when I saw it. I remember the woman who had it for 50 years until she died, Ida, Ida Bitman. Thanks for watching the old buzzy sound videos Steven I really appreciate it

[@andreayaya]

It's a joy to watch you enjoy and teach about your jewelry. Thank you for sharing!

You have exquisite pieces. I enjoyed viewing them. Thanks!

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

Thank you again! XO ~Dawn

[@patricianeedham2666]

Please make another video on how you style your jewelry. I just started collecting and I’m at a loss on how to wear it creatively.

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

Hi Patricia, Thank you for letting me know it's time to do another one! I'm producing a "Chanel Runway Inspired" video this week and the jewelry is definitely creatively used in this one. Some of the long necklaces that I use for layering I even made myself, years ago. I'll try to post pics or a short video in the community section of my youtube page! Anything in particular you would like explored? Pins? Layering necklaces? ❤️ ~Dawn

[@sunshine000000ful1]

Oh my gosh, I just about died when I saw your 20s flapper girl in a monical and hat! I found a ladies cigarette laquer red box from the edwardian era. She is smoking and a cat is balancing on a chair begging for the cigarette and she is giving it to him. Just love your taste in jewellery! I also love the heavy chunky sterling pieces from Mexico in bracelets! Believe it or not i also owned a large Victorian sterling locket with swallows on it too, I regret to this day selling it at auction. Love love love your taste and your collections!

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

That sounds fantastic! xo D

[@QuirkyGirl10]

You have a beautifully curated collection of jewelry. TFS!

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

Thank you!

[@janierozmaryn97]

I have been watching and saving all of your old videos as well as your new ones. You are a wealth of information and knowledge! I have learned so much from you and i just wanted to say thank you💖

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

Thank you Janie, you are very kind and taking the time to write really helps me. I truly appreciate you saving them and taking the time XO~Dawn

[@southernmermaid2526]

So many great pieces. I feel a connection to you. Like you I started my vintage jewelry collection when I was 15 and am now 50. When you said the RLM collar outfit could read 80s, all it needed was shoulder pads... I was saying and slouchy boots instead of knee highs. I absolutely LOVE your signature locket and the old picture in it just makes it better! 💗🖤

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

Yes, I know who are, Thank you so much for watching XO~Dawn

[@barehandedspank]

I love Schiaparelli! When I first began, around 8 years ago, it was just as a reseller. So, I sold pieces I wish I hadn't now. But, I recently scored a Schiaparelli brooch with matching clip-on earrings. I was so excited when I saw them. It was at goodwill in the glass case at the register. I happened to squat down and look closely and noticed a cheap plastic organizing compartment tray with snap on lid for 24.95. When I opened it my jaw dropped! It had many small jewelry treasures, but the Schiaparelli was the big win for me!

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

OMG!! Sometimes we just get so lucky, but it takes years of background work to make that bit of luck to happen XO~Dawn

[@suzannedawson4120]

LOVE those African bracelets, AND that gorgeous Haskel pink necklace. So pretty on you with your long brunette hair. 🥰

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

Thank you! 🤗xo~Dawn

Absolutely gorgeous collection 😍 ❤❤

Love your videos. I have already referred you to dozens of people. You are also the reason I have scored some beautiful vintage pieces I would have overlooked. Plus you are perfectly beautiful.

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

That is awesome! The best kind of comment, so happy to be helpful .. THANK YOU for watching! XO~Dawn

Rhinestones are ALWAYS good, regardless of age 😁. Just discovered your channel and subbed. Fantastic content!

Thanks for watching and commenting Amy B!

[@judyjennings-gunther4022]

I love watching your videos, although this is only my second one. You are very knowledgeable and very charming. I can't decide what are my favorites. I have many 50's SS made in Mexico, mask bracelets, but nothing like your incredible jade one. Wow. I also love, anything Zuni. I have a black jet necklace that was my Grandma's, Grandma. My Grandma was born in 1903 so it is super old. The necklace was broken in many places. It was all hand knotted. I re-hand knotted the entire necklace which was a pain, but I love it.

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

Hi Judy, and thank you for the sweet compliment! When it's old it's worth taking care of. Always time well spent, in my opinion. Thank you for watching ❤️

[@KristyLe-rs9bz]

What a gorgeous collection ❤

[@somanysparkles]

I love vintage jewelry!! Just subbed!

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

Thanks for subbing! You Rock! ~D

[@VondaInWonderland]

You are an amazing wealth of knowledge. I'm sooooooooo glad that I found your channel! I have an incredible collection spiralled all across my house. I really don't know what most of it is, I am a garage sale addict. These COVID regulations are literally killing me. I'll try to get some pieces together next week when my assistant is here to help me ♥

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

Send pics!

[@juanitaservin6246]

I like your hair up. Even if it was just held with a clip. It makes you look elegant. Nice video. You are very helpful with your knowledge.

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

Thank you so much Juanita, also, that was before dental surgery LOL Thank you again for watching Xo~Dawn

[@reneebyrd7821]

I enjoy your videos so much. Great job.

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

Glad you like them!

[@m.pixley8413]

YOu are such an inspiration. I moved from NYC up to snowy Rochester, NY (way way way upstate) and have for years collected many pieces similar to yours; It is so unfortunate that up here it is an act of bravery to wear just about anything other than really standard looking mall junk .. I get all kinds of stares and whatnot. Its really an art and is not appreciated in many places outside of big cities unfortunately..

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

I love Rochester! I can totally relate, sometimes the weather is enough to just give in to the standard stuff. I go through my collection about once a month and separate out what I want to wear and put it in its own box on my dresser. Kind of like the way stylists make a rack (or a rail) for the week. Thank you so much for watching, and writing! xo~D

[@katesleuth1156]

Just started watching you and just subscribed. I love that Miriam Haskell (new name I’ve learned) pink necklace.

[@ginagaysellsjewerly]

Just found your channel because princess Casserole mentioned you ! Yay ! I’m so distracted by that ridiculously amazing silver jacket 💕 also when you said your age I had to go back and make sure I heard you right . I’m 59 I thought you were maybe 45!

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

Hi Gina, Thank you so much for checking me out!! XO~Dawn

I am DYING with that gorgeous RLM for Donna Karan necklace. It is so stunning. Thanknyou for sharing your love for vintage jewelry. You are my favorite vintage jewelry channel. ❤ Also would this piece be signed as Robert Lee Morris or DKCo? I couldn't see the signature.

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

Hi!! Thank you for the nice compliment! He etched his full name with a hardware store engraver.. it was early...

Thank you! Cheers! XO~Dawn

[@wendymacneil7337]

Love your channel. Just found you through a comment the niche lady made . Always curious when I’m out how can you check for authentic stones and silver and gold when there are no markings. Is there something you can purchase that will help me identify 🩷 thanks again for sharing your knowledge

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

Yes~ start with a magnet for metal, and try to feel the weight and temp, of stones, look for inclusions and condition, and invest in a presidium and acids for when you get things home :)

[@esthersantiago7152]

I am a kindled spirit. I collect costume jewelry and love my American Indian jewelry and silver cuffs . I also collect Frida Kahlo style earrings from Oaxaca Mexico which I wear all the time. I love big jewelry no small jewelry for me. Enjoyed your video and your black and white women bracelets!

[@maamnins4661]

Hi! I'm from the Philippines. First time to see your series of vlogs and I subscribed. I absolutely admire your collection and your style. You mentioned that your subscribers can have their pieces examined as to authenticity and value through your email. Months ago, I purchased a brooch at a second hand store for P200 or approximately 4 dollars, and I would love it if you can tell me if it's a good purchase. However, I can't find your email address anywhere in your vlogs that I watched. Thanks for any help you can extend regarding my find.

[@HUDSONVINTAGE]

Yes of course my email is [e-mail] (and I just started a Patreon for collectors to learn and share and trade and sell XO~Dawn
