Needles introduces a new set of 70s-inspired jewelry for the Fall/Winter 2019 season, featuring a series of [rings and necklaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-jewelry). The designs arrive in silver and gold options and boast insignias that nod to the previous era -- this includes peace signs, smiley faces, and butterflies.

The collection is progressive but can be styled in a sense to nods to the retro aesthetics. One of the standout designs in the Papillon necklace as it highlights the signature [NEEDLES](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection) butterfly logo that was inspired by Steve McQueen, hanging on a thin gold-plated chain. The wings on the butterfly pendant are intricately detailed with small carvings. The peace sign necklace is also a standout design as it is complete in an oxidized finish to add to the vintage design language.
