Vintage Vanity Fair Nightgown
Some people are very uncomfortable about the idea of vintage sleepwear. While wearing clothes once worn by someone else might be one thing, sleeping in something second-hand can feel dirty, even if the item has been washed. But for those who know that once the item is cleaned it's as good as new, a vintage nightgown can be a wonderful treat. Vanity Fair's nightgown selection is famous for having some of the most elegant and romantic nightgowns designed. Many of the vintage gowns were designed with gently fitted bodices, defined waists and full, sweeping skirts. Trimmed with lace, chiffon or satin ribbons, a nightgown might be the most glamorous item in a woman's closet. And unlike a ball gown, it was something she could wear every night. It's no wonder vintage Vanity Fair nightgowns are still so prized. Choices and prices will vary widely, with the rarest nightgowns being quite expensive but many lovely items being very reasonable. You should expect that anything from the 1940s will be at least three figures, but if you've seen any of those nightgowns, you'll know they are worth it.

>> Lucite Box

Brilliant Earth's 18K Gold Choco Fair Trade Pendant - made of recycled gold
This two-sided pendant is made from one of the first truly fair trade sources of gold from Oro Verde, responsibly harvested from cooperatives in the Chocó region in Colombia, South America. One side is adorned with a pre-Colombian petroglyph pattern, inspired by the region where the gold is harvested, while the other side glimmers with a rough-hewn hand-hammered finish. This exclusive pendant is produced in limited quantities due to limited availability of fair trade gold. In addition to paying a fair wage, the fair trade gold cooperatives ensure the use of sustainable environmental practices, restore ecosystems damaged by other mining companies, and promote the well-being of the local community.
