Lace. Soft knit or crocheted lace, or metal filigree lace. Cobweb light shawls or chunky filigree metal rings topped with old watch parts a la Steampunk (more about that in a minute).
Bamboo, cotton or linen yarns. Bamboo is so soft, cool and drapey, cotton so smooth and classic, linen so crisp and fresh.
Mixed metals. Silver, gold, copper, brass. Shiny or antiqued. Mix up several in one jewelry piece.
Vintage Cabochons and Cameos. Cabochons (flat-backed gems or stones) in glass or lucite, with fancy settings.
Anthing Floral. Especially flower-shaped beads and anything earth-inspired like butterflies, and leaves - even fish.
Brass. In particular raw, or oxidized brass.
Colors: coral pink/orange. periwinkle blue and robin's egg blue. seafoam green. sunshine yellow. lipstick red. classic black and white.
Stempunk inspired jewelry: Fantasy machinery in the steam era. Modern with an old touch. Think Jules Verne.
I've spent the afternoon shopping for lots of vintage jewelry supplies, and brass. They should be trickling into the shop little by little in the near future. I can't wait for the boxes to start arriving!
