I've been busy in the studio!

It feels so good to work freely and to be inspired by the vintage goodies in my collections. For the past 8 month's I have been working on a challenging artistic and time focused project ~ which will be shared in the future. I know that I am not alone on on this... I have many designs that have been in a "holding" pattern waiting to be completed. I am refocused and have started to "chip" away to bring them life...I hope you enjoy the four designs I am sharing ~ 

A lovely friend celebrated her birthday yesterday and I made this for 


her...



I have a extensive collection of vintage Art Deco shoe, dress and fur clips and love to add them to my designs. I spent Sunday customizing a few into connectors without compromising the rhinestones and pot metal structure. Here is a beautifully delicate inspired rosary design using one of the shoe clips and is available on my website:


 


















I love anything French ~ authenticate, or inspired: This bracelet has been in one of those "holding" patterns and it feel great bringing it to completion! It is also available on my website: 



 






















The embellished focal pendant was a pair of huge vintage earrings that spoke to me long ago ~ I knew that I would be inspired to work with them. I adore the mix of colors for this neck piece ~ it reminds me of an ice cream cone, or cupcake...Heavy on the "sprinkles"! 
 It is also available on my website:

This vintage inspired necklace was so much fun to make! It features a large locket pendant (very roomy for that special someone you want to hold close.) Complimenting the locket are a black jeweled button and large creamy pearl and filigree drop. Multiple charms of a fleur de lis, humming bird, heart, dragonfly and a crystal with pearl drop. All these lovelies are hanging from a silver tone rose beaded rosary. The necklace nestles between the bosoms, but can be adjusted to a shorter length.

This lovely floral fan charm is a reproduced vintage stamping (mold from the early 1900's). Whimsically dangling below are charms of fleur de lis, a butterfly, heart, purse and multiple flowers of brass and Swarovski crystal. This exquisite charm necklace hangs from an adjustable brass neck chain.

Above, a dragonfly playfully flies above a beautiful large crystal. The crystal is nestled between vintage filigree findings. The neck chain is choker length.

I wish the picture could capture the brilliance of this amazing crystal.



Below, hanging from a mix of unique, vintage neck chains is a beautiful antique rhinestone shoe clip. I have repurposed the clip, as I do all clips, so that the original integrity of the piece remains. Dangling from the neck chain is a trio of charms...Eiffel Tower, Paris and a crystal drop. The length of this necklace is adjustable.

Please contact me by email if you are interested in either of these pieces.

A beautiful rectangular rhinestone shoe clip is elegantly featured with a reproduced vintage flower (mold from the early 1900's). The multi-layered, repurposed chain is choker length and includes a two inch extended chain... if you wish to wear it a bit longer.

I hope you enjoyed viewing my new pieces, as well as looking at updated photo's and descriptions of pieces displayed in previous postings.
