The antiques of the future might be a bit difficult for dealers to classify. For instance, in the year 2060, when an antiques dealer is inspecting some Verdier Jewelry, she might have some trouble in determining if the piece came from 2008 or 1933. This is because Verdier uses authentic vintage materials from the world's "old school" jewelry factories.

The company uses lucite, glass and metals originally manufactured in the 30s, 40s and 50s, and merges them with modern production techniques, like this 1940s glass pendant on a vintage enamel chain, or the vintage jet plastic flowers pictured above.


The results are vintage beauties with a modern twist, to keep historians of the future on their toes.
