Bridesmaid Gifts: Vintage Postage Stamp Jewelry

Tess and I love helping to pick out unusual and inspired bridesmaid gifts. Here is one unique option: necklaces ($35) and earrings ($35) made of vintage postage stamps and sterling silver from Foxglove Accessories. Each piece is one-of-a-kind and comes with a tag detailing the country of origin. This particular number hails from a 1950s Czechoslovakian postage stamp.

Chicago-based designer Betsy Siber (full disclosure: my thoroughly awesome sister-in-law) got inspired after discovering her father’s forgotten vintage stamp collection. Now she makes earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings, and even cufflinks (hmm, groomsmen gifts, anyone?) out of these beautiful pieces of history. Put in a custom order for color and country—or choose from the goods on site. Bonus: 20% off for Persimmon & Grey readers through April 20! Use the order code PersimmonGrey at checkout.
