Crossroads was founded at the end of 2014. This brand was originally a new year's resolution by the owner, Sylvie. She wanted to have her own vintage select shop outside of her full time design job at the time. Because of her unique taste in selecting accessories, it has been supported by customers greatly. Therefore, she was fortunate enough to transition from part-time into a full-time job, officially entering the path of vintage jewelry select shop. Crossroads (Xiang-Cheng), with the sound the same as ‘multiplying’ in Mandarin, which is the visual symbol X. It represents the core value of the brand which is to decorate the unique self with antique jewelry on the crossroads of history and style.
In the past seven years, the years of vintage pieces in the store have also become wider and wider, from the early days of obsession with modern fashion jewelry, gradually to today's focus on precious antique jewelry over a century. During this period, she has participated in countless markets, held more than 10 private salon exhibitions and sales activities, and handled thousands of items. She has tempered a unique style of selection, and established the official website of the brand in 2022.
The time and space dimensions spanned by the selection are actually the beautiful love poems written by the founder of the brand to all those who love old things.
In 2022, the newly released brand logo took the double S in the brand name CROSSROADS, coiled in a snake shape. Snake is one of the oldest and culturally diverse animal symbols in jewelry. For a long time, our imagination for snakes wandered between awe, good and evil, cunning, life and death, entangled and inextricable. Depending on each person's different interpretations, it gives a unique and complex charm. The pattern on the double snake is taken from the star pattern of the bague au firmament of Queen Marie Antoinette, which the brand owner admires very much. The most powerful woman in Europe at that time arrogantly asked a jeweler to make her a piece that concentrated the stars of the sky at her fingertips. As for those of us who wear antique jewelry, we all have collected a world that spanned ancient and modern times, a piece of history.
