I’ve created this shadow box necklace using a vintage butterfly wing pendant, a found shell & seahorse charm. I added the word journey to invoke memories of travel and added vintage pearl beads for accents. Butterfly wing jewelry was a popular souvenir item in the 1940’s and collected today. I finished it off with a vintage pearl costume necklace for just the right amount of “wow”! An original mixed media art piece you can wear!
These vintage clip on earrings have a lot of personality! I repurposed them to dangles because they deserve a second go round! Some pearl coating is chipping but not noticeable when wearing.
This Circa 1950’s Mother Brooch is faded into the softest color, so I mimicked the color using vintage beads pearls and remnants of vintage earrings. The sweetest gift is Mother.
Such a show stopper necklace. I’ve layered 3 pastel & pearl buckles to frame the vintage butterfly pin and daisy remnant. The asymmetrical chain is created by using part of a vintage necklace on one side & a pin and beautiful antique glass links on the other side. Lots of length adjustment available with the large link chain I used! Fly away with this piece!
These great vintage purple rhinestone earrings have so much sparkle. I have converted these screwback earrings into a modern version. You get the great mid century stones with the comfortable ear wires.

Cameo jewelry is truly timeless. The style continues to be popular since its creation in Ancient Mediterranean times.
The portrait of this beautiful girl is only made more beautiful by the rhinestone framing. It is easy to imagine how loved and revered this woman must have been.
The vivid red-orange color of this brooch combined with Victorian details make this piece a showstopper! The hand formed square chain enhances the bold look and the long chains give the piece a bit of edge. You will love wearing this necklace!

Antiqued Gold tone clamper bracelet backing - fits average (71/2”) wrist easily.
Conchos come from the Mexican vaquero tradition and serve both a decorative and a utilitarian role on western saddles. Eventually they were used in accessories, as was this beautifully detailed piece from a belt.
This late 1800’s button is of a wonderful garden basket filled with gardening tools. I have used a vintage watch band along with a vintage Cufflink piece to add asymmetrical interest. So striking!
