Celebrity Vintage Lockets and Jewelry

Celebrities always seem so perfect … even though we know they aren't, they just seem to be so. One knack that celebrity endorsement has is making something old look new. Vintage lockets, pocket watches, cameo lockets and nature leaf jewelry look new again with celebrity backing. Today we are looking at five celebrity vintage jewelry styles, and how they incorporate them into their outfits.

Emily Rossum at the Cartier Love Charity event

This gorgeous actress wore a multi-row diamond Cartier bracelet to the charity evening held in mid-2008, and looked beautiful in another vintage-inspired design, her blue silk and rose motif dress. The platinum and diamond necklace, as well as her bracelet, were from 1934. Her diamond stud earrings are from current times, but only slightly less expensive than the vintage jewelry. Earrings: $250,000. Necklace: $611,000. Bracelet: $334,000.

Hilary Duff at the Cartier Love Charity event

Hilary Duff got a much less expensive piece of vintage jewelry for her appearance at the Cartier Love Charity event … but for my opinion, that would let me relax much more throughout the night! The gold and diamond scalloped necklace is circa 1953. It costs $160,000 -- so perhaps a nice vintage locket, pocket watch or some nature leaf jewelry might be a better idea for a Christmas gift!

Jennifer Connelly

Ms. Connelly has a certain vintage look herself, with that dark hair that hasn’t changed over the course of her career, and those piercing green eyes. She was wearing this vintage look necklace at 2008 Metropolitan Museum Of Art Costume Institute Annual Gala ... and it definitely is a work of art in itself. It was the style highlight of an otherwise very simple, minimalist dress and a fascinating combination. You can emulate her look with black, white, and vintage lockets.

Kristin Bell, Forgetting Sarah Marshall premiere

Kristin Bell looked beautiful, and despite the vintage locket, very modern at the premiere of Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Her entire outfit was bold, with a maxidress and a sweeping updo.
