Vintage Meets Modern: Jewelry With a Story

Art deco-inspired treasures by Silk Purse, Sow’s Ear now at Paper and Grace

There’s something undeniably romantic about jewelry that feels like it could have a story. Maybe it belonged to someone else in another lifetime. Maybe it was made just for you. At Paper and Grace, we’re drawn to pieces that balance that old soul charm with something fresh and current—and that’s exactly why we’re swooning over the art deco–inspired styles from Silk Purse, Sow’s Ear.

These are pieces that feel both timeless and entirely unexpected. Think geometric silhouettes, delicate settings, antique finishes, and subtle sparkle—made modern for the everyday wearer.

A Nod to the Past, Made for the Present

Silk Purse, Sow’s Ear designs are lovingly handmade in Edinburgh, Scotland, using ethically sourced gemstones and recycled metals. Their pieces bring a vintage sensibility to modern design.

From labradorite drops to freshwater pearl studs and faceted pendants, each piece is a little bit old-Hollywood, a little bit heirloom, and a whole lot of wearable elegance.

Elevated, Everyday Beauty

These aren’t the kind of accessories you tuck away for a formal occasion. They’re the ones you wear with your favorite white tee, your go-to dress, or on a day when you need something to make you feel just a little more you. Silk Purse, Sow’s Ear jewelry layers beautifully, adds warmth to minimal outfits, and never tries too hard.

We love these pieces as thoughtful gifts, pairing perfectly with a handwritten note, a beautiful box, and a moment of showing your appreciation and gratitude to a deserving recipient.

And if the gift is for your own collection, we won't judge! Come in, try something on and discover your next favorite piece. We’re here to help you find something that feels just right—something that speaks to both your style and your story.
