Having lived in New York for quite some time now and I haven't fully explored the gallaries and antique/vintage shops this city has to offer. So today I embarked on a mission to Chelsea in search of antique boutiques. Pippin Vintage Jewelry was one of the many stops on my list. This cute vintage boutique lies in the heart of Chelsea. The outside looks like any vintage stores you'll see in the East Village. However, upon entering the store I felt like I was in a different world. I was happy to know that they were camera friendly because I really wanted to share this place with you.
Even their business card has this personal touch to it. Running my fingers through the textured, cursive "Pippin" imprint somehow brought me back to a different period in time.
Their jewelry displays were so beautiful too. The use of mirrored displays help reflect the light which added more sparkle to the jewelry. Below are some cameo pieces; brooches, bracelets and rings.
This was one of the many pieces I fell in love with. I was under the impression that all the pieces in their store were higher-end merchandise however after speaking with one of the sales specialist regarding this piece below, I was told that it's actually costume jewelry that's gold plated with a jade as the centerpiece. That explains the affordable pricing of some of their pieces. Nevertheless, I love the oceanic vibe of this ring.
Same goes for this ring below. I have a thing for sapphires and diamonds. There's this royalty to it and it reminds me of Kate Middleton's engagement ring. The description states that it's made out of sterling silver.
Even though I didn't end up making a purchase I would definitely come back again and see what new pieces they have in store. If you haven't been to this store, be sure to drop by and take a peep, and see what the owner Stephen and Rachel have done.
