Julie's heirloom necklace is an elegant piece that's perfect for any vintage-inspired jewelry lover. It incorporates three signature Vintaj charms; the Natural Brass Fern leaf , the Arte Metal Tiered Leaf and the Natural Brass Teensie Key pendant. She also added some SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS chatons in Jet Hematite and Silver Shade for some extra sparkle. It is a beautiful piece that truly reflects the style and look of the Vintaj brand.

Featured Video: How to Use Vintaj Patinas and Glaze


This week's feature video shows how to use Vintaj Patina. By using a paintbrush and adding patina onto your charms, you can add color and texture. Take a look at the video below for more details.

Each week we will be sharing some of our favorite products from Vintaj. Here are the Designer Picks for the Vintaj charms.

Julie:

My favorite Vintaj charm has to be the brass scarab charm. I have used this piece many times in my Steampunk designs and love how you can nestle it between layers of "stuff" and make it look like it is crawling out of the design. It also can be gently bent and looks great with patina.





Megan:
These Vintaj Natural Brass Sparrow Charms are a classic.  I love how timeless they are, and I feel like you could work them into so many different projects, regardless of the style.  They add a pretty, feminine touch that I adore.

Kat:

I love the dark black tone of these Vintaj Arte Metal feather charms. They have a great effect if you layer them together.  Be sure to check out all of the Vintaj Arte Metal pieces.  You might be surprised how easy they are to work into your metal designs. 




Karlin:

I absolutely adore the Vintaj Artisan Pewter Oui Charm. It's the perfect addition to a bracelet or necklace with a French motif, and since I love anything French, I can't wait to use it in one of my own projects.
