Vintage Inspired Necklaces


Lovely necklaces inspired by the romance of past times. Inventory changes, but I find 18th c. and 19th c. France, English cottage gardens, the turn of the century Gilded Age and Art Nouveau very inspiring.
 
My organza ribbon pearl and crystal necklaces are lightweight, shimmery and fully finished in the back. Also ... my vintage inspired lace necklaces. Delicate, romantic, and feminine, you will always receive compliments wearing these. Think of these as couture pieces -- each piece is very time and labor intensive, requiring an average of 10 hours to hand stitch each bead and crystal into place.
 
It is not uncommon to see pieces here designed around a found spectacular vintage object. These pieces are by there nature, one of kind, and are very special.
