Why red gemstones are back in fashion

In Soviet times, gold jewelry with rubies was incredibly popular. Decorating your hands with a small ruby ring was considered very stylish and fashionable. However, for a long time ruby in gold is considered something outdated and completely tasteless. What do you do with that kind of decoration?

Most Soviet jewelry now cause very mixed feelings among all fashionistas. On the one hand, we are used to considering the products of those times something outdated and ugly. On the other hand, sometimes you want to bring a little unusual vintage into your life. And family jewels are dear to many, as a memory of good times and loved ones.

Previously, almost every major city had its own jewelry factory. All the decorations that were produced by such factories had a GOST sign. Many factories produced something special, for example, in Kostroma they made wonderful jewelry for hair and head. However, in almost all such artels there was a standard set of jewelry.

One of the most famous jewelry productions was, perhaps, the factory in Kostroma. It was he who specialized in the manufacture of the Soviet corundumIt perfectly imitated a real ruby. It is this corundum that can be found today in most of the vintage jewelry of those times.

Corundum is a synthetic stone, a real masterpiece of chemical developers of that time. Many people are very disappointed to learn that the pebble in your grandmother’s favorite ring does not have much value. In this case, you can easily melt the vintage gold into decoration.

Carefully select the accessory for clothes. Vintage is not suitable for all things. For example, wearing an old necklace or even a ring with torn jeans and huge sneakers is definitely not worth it.

In the closets of the storeroom you can sometimes find whole treasures left by your great-grandmother. Remember that jewelry with too much fancy-design It's better to cut it out. Choose as neutral as possible. Give rings with complex weaves and a pile of stones to melt, and leave things in a minimalist style.

The most important thing in creating a modern image is to find a balance and come to a reasonable compromise. Do not throw away all the ancient jewelry without even looking at them. But it is also not necessary to leave absolutely all the old chains, tiaras and rings. Find a middle ground!
