The use of shells as purses mainly dates from the end of the 19th century, when the Victorians love of the natural world and passion for collecting seashells coincided with the middle classes being able to take holidays to seaside resorts . They often wished to take back souvenirs of their excursions, and shell purses were one of many items produced by entrepreneurial shopkeepers. The writing of “souvenir from …” is long gone, but you can see traces of some hand painted flowers. This is the first time I have acquired one in this shell design. Usually the shell is applied to a purse frame…This is an instance where the actual shell was used as the purse!
Features:
Late 1800’s souvenir shell purse with dyed shark skin compartmented lining. 2 1/4” x 1 1/2” x 1 1/4”
Custom created chain using vintage pearls & crystal beads - adjustable from 30” - 33”
Vintage pearls, crystals make up tassel I created.
Sarah Coventry revisited! This 1960’s - 70’s pendant & tassel are so retro cool. I’ve added an antique button to give it a bit more pizazz & interest. The filagree button has a reflective metal disc inside and will catch the light and sparkle. A classic long necklace you will love!
This lovely large statement pendant from the 1980’s features inlaid shell in black on brass. I have designed a chain using light pink crystals with gold accents to coordinate with the light colors of the gorgeous shell pieces. Such an easy piece to throw on for an instant pop of wow!
Snake symbolism in jewelry has been around since ancient times. There are many opinions of what they represent: power, healing, charm, renewal, protection…etc. They will continue to be popular through the years. I took this pendant and part of the original tassel and made a turquoise chain and added details. The combination of the turquoise with the bright gold is quite striking…you will be a charmer for sure when you wear this statement piece!
This Is a collectible 1930 Kathleen Mary Quinlan Compact and the Art Deco design is great! I’ve repeated the color scheme in the chain & tassel & the celluloid links I sourced are from the same time period. The compact didn’t retain its’ original powder tray or puff, so I created a collage feature inside to add just a bit of fun detail. This is a scarce find & one you will treasure!
Features:
Vintage compact - 1 1/2” x 1 1/2”
Original tassel created with vintage links - 3”
Original chain created from celluloid & silver tone links. Adjustable to 26”
In the early 1960’s they called this a faux cameo but to my eye it is actually painted porcelain. I have repurposed this sweet piece from a brooch into a necklace. I’ve added some baubles and a gorgeous vintage gold tone chain for this elegant statement necklace!

Here is one for the dog lovers! A wonderful doggy Lenticular is the centerpiece of this necklace. FYI - Lenticular Printingis a technology in which lenticular lenses are used to produce printed images with an illusion of changing & moving as they are viewed from different angles. This process was used as early as the 1900’s! So imagine my delight when I was able to source some “new” old stock lenticular images! So much fun!!!

Such an irresistibly cute and fun statement necklace to welcome in Spring! I’ve used a vintage pre-loved tin toy and replaced its’ missing ears and added a flower piece to enhance the tail. Lots of pastel beads were used to create the chain. You’ll want to ‘JUMP’ at this one!
This locket & half buckle most likely date in the early 1900’s during one of many renaissance revival periods. The locket has very little wear on the inside, but the exterior shows vintage aged wear in the patina. The half buckle is in excellent vintage condition. This is a treasure you will love!
Lovely gold filled vintage locket with initials olc engraved on the front. But if those aren’t your initials don’t let that you stop you from owning this treasure! They are not apparent unless you are looking at it close. You could also engrave your own initials on the plain back side and flip the heart. Such a sweet heirloom piece you will Love!
