I have an 18th-century style portrait-miniature necklace for sale. It’s a historical style, but I can see it being worn with a modern outfit too.

Next month’s theme is gloves & mitts. You could make them from scratch or show off a great vintage glove find or makeover existing gloves into a more historical style. So many types of gloves & mitts have been popular, & this is a lovely accessory to finish off an outfit.
Short gloves in the 1530s, mitts in the 1770s, long gloves in the 1880s
