EDITORS COMMENTS
In this spread from the pages of London Life magazine, published in 1965, British model Jean Shrimpton takes center stage as she shares her personal preferences for jewellery. With her striking porcelain complexion and piercing blue eyes, Shrimpton was a muse for the Swinging Sixties, embodying the era's youthful, carefree spirit. At the top of the page, a portrait of the fashion icon graces the cover, her timeless beauty radiating through the photograph. As she delves into the world of jewellery, Shrimpton expresses her affinity for antique pieces, which lend an air of history and sophistication. The first item she selects is a delicate, intricately designed antique bracelet, its gold links adorned with tiny diamonds and pearls. Next, she chooses a vintage brooch, its ornate design featuring a central ruby surrounded by a halo of crystals. This exquisite piece adds a touch of glamour and allure to any outfit. Moving on to necklaces, Shrimpton selects a stunning antique pendant, its intricate detailing and elegant design a testament to the craftsmanship of a bygone era. She also recommends a simple, yet elegant chain necklace, which can be dressed up or down, making it a versatile addition to any jewellery collection. Lastly, Shrimpton showcases a contemporary piece by British jeweller Richard Ogden. This ruby and crystal ring, with its bold, statement design, adds a pop of colour and a modern twist to the otherwise classic antique selections. As the Swinging Sixties came to a close, London Life magazine captured the essence of the era through the eyes of one of its most iconic figures. Jean Shrimpton's timeless beauty and impeccable sense of style continue to inspire fashion enthusiasts to this day, and her jewellery choices remain a testament to the enduring allure of antique and vintage pieces.
