For those of you who still have a huge hankering for vintage accessories, the Precious Grime collection has much to offer. Although it is just a graduate project at the moment, the beautiful, raw look of each piece of jewelry will surely have people making requests left, right and center.
Designed by Victoria Kelsey, a recent graduate of the Jewellery and Accessories BA(Hons) program at Middlesex University in London, the Precious Grime collection "is inspired by the marks and traces of age left behind on discarded objects at flea markets." Thus, it is as if the Precious Grime collection has been neglected, only to be worn by the mistress of time. From her Overgrown Spectacles to onyx necklaces and Entangled Finger Rings, the Precious Grime collection definitely has a lot of character.
