Have you ever heard of the city Ioannina in Western Greece? It is famous for many things, one of which are the silversmiths!
You can find very beautiful and unique pieces of silver jewellery, some with gemstones or mother of pearl whereas some others are just silver carved jewellery. The majority of these pieces look vintage and special. However, for those of you, who have a modern fashion style, you can easily add these pieces on your outfits without any doubt!
The suite, a necklace and a pair of earrings, worn on the photos below are in silver metal, decorated with round cut mother of pearl. On the necklace there is a cabochon cut almandine garnet. As you can see, the suite looks so vintage, but in reality is made on modern days. This specific way of designing and creating jewellery is only found in this city of Greece.

If you are concerned about the styling of this suite and how you can add it on a modern wardrobe, you do not have to worry at all! My outfit is made of a loose fitting dark green over the knee dress by Zara, a pair of black ankle boots and a pair of socks with white polka dots and silver glitter. I believe that silver metal goes perfectly with this dark green colour. Moreover, this style of vintage jewellery creates a statement look and different than the usual ones. After all, jewellery can change a lot the way your outfit looks! You can check my whole outfit on the photo below.
