A Victorian inspired design with a modern spin. I love the richness of the sentiment of all the vintage jewelry components with history of being treasured and worn. The glass, crystal and pearl focals are married together in an asymmetrical Y design necklace. It's a lovely statement necklace offering tradition, creativity and sparkle with it's crystals, pearls and filigree collaged.


  • What makes this necklace special? Vintage jewelry repurposed into a modern design
  • Personally knowing the story behind some of the vintage jewelry. The large square glass vintage focal in the center was loving worn for years by a woman who lived in an estate in Boalsburg, PA. She loved sparkle and had an eye for high fashion. 
  • One-of-a-kind necklace
  • Handcrafted assemblage and design


  • This one-of-a-kind and eye catching statement necklace would be lovely for a bride, bridal party or evening out. Materials: Silver plated wire, vintage silver plated chain, vintage flower with pearl focal, vintage large glass square focal, vintage cluster strand, vintage pearl and rhinestone button, antiqued silver filigree and other components.
  • Variable wearable length: overall 18-16"; from clasp to the top of the focal
  • Focal measures: Tip of flower to bottom of square glass focal; 2.75" L x 2" W


I enjoy creating visual interest with various textures, colors and out of the ordinary findings. This necklace is made from vintage components that have been pre-loved so as with all vintage items, some evidence of wear is to be expected. It is, however, in excellent vintage condition! I believe it is the slight "wear" showing that makes these items even more lovable - - definitely makes them "shabby chic"

Love vintage pearls? This necklace is for you. It features a full strand of vintage pearls with high quality vintage jewelry re-designed into a lovely necklace. A similar look as celebrity (Beth) Elizabeth Ann Behrs in her role as Caroline Channing with her chunky "favorite pear necklace" in the comedy series 2 Broke Girls.


A fun and classy design with a lot of movement. The richness of the vintage pearls and gold focals are married together with charms of pearl, moonstone, and golden twig shapes hung in front of a long strand of glass pearls. A mulit-style piece, the focal charms, can be worn in the front or to the side. This piece is very versatile making it perfect for a plain top, with lace for a more vintage feel or stunning with a simple black dress.


I personally love to wear statement necklaces every day, I like to add interest to a denim jacket, dress up a favorite t-shirt, sweater, sweatshirt, add some interest to that plain sweater or blouse.


Details:

  • Handcrafted original item
  • Materials: Gold tone, vintage pearl and other components, vintage pearl strand with each bead knotted.
  • Knowing the the bobbles, charms, pearls, and gemstones had been loved so much they have slight signs of wear, there is a romance to vintage jewelry 
  • The clasp is in the front, the smaller peal focal on the left side is the clasp
  • Variable wearable length: overall 24"


Inspiration:

"The love of pearls and vintage jewelry. Pearls go with everything and every girl should have some." I like movement and unique jewelry and enjoy creating visual interest with various textures, colors and out of the ordinary findings. This necklace is made from vintage components that have been pre-loved so as with all vintage items, some evidence of wear is to be expected. It is, however, in good vintage condition! I believe it is the slight "wear" showing that makes these items even more lovable - - definitely makes them "shabby chic" with a nostalgic feel." Janise

Art jewelry inspired by nature. A stunning vintage assemblage necklace in soft pinks and bolder seafoam green and lush gold. It is an interesting landscape of golden leaves in an asymmetrical statement necklace Y design. Clusters of gold leaves and soft bright pink vines on one side and pastel pink ovals on the other. The vintage golden leaf is outlined with clear rhinestones, collaged together with a vintage seafoam green flower trio with light blue rhinestones, a bold pink and green focal, and lovely brass filigree stamping.


​Inspiration:  

"This eclectic necklace is a one-of-a-kind is inspired by a photoshoot I did at the Penn State's Arboretum. It happened to be the day the grounds keepers were cleaning the water gardens. I was fascinated by the huge lily pads, their large spikes, glorious colors, textures, and flowers. Once I started viewing my images, I was so taken by the beauty of the flowers, the lily pads and the bees that visited them, I began to paint. The results are shown here.


I couldn't get the day out of my head, how peaceful it was. I really wanted to spend more time there. I sat at my work bench day dreaming of all I a saw that day and continued my exploration of the lily pads through art jewelry. This necklace is a visual to stop and enjoy the all the gifts given to us by nature." Janise

Another Wow for Janise. This is a fun and flirty sweet statement necklace full of interest and eye popping treasures. It features pink and black flowers and beautiful abalone butterflies that playfully border the love birds that sit above a large antiqued silver filigree heart. This piece has lots of hidden handmade embellishments, rows of colorful beads, wire wrapped rings and the movement of the heart that make it unique and fun. The chain is gunmetal black and has a front clasp for easy wear.

​

This eclectic statement necklace is a one of a kind that was inspired by nature and love. It would be a perfect gift for your sweetheart or if you fancy large whimsical jewelry. A delightfully fun piece of jewelry.

A string of gold, smoke crystal, and tiger eye gemstones offset the collage of vintage pieces, a large amber, handmade beaded cluster in amber/brown colors. It is further embellished with a vintage art deco style. 


This lovely collage hangs by an antiqued brass colored etched chain.

About My Jewelry    

  • Many of my pieces are sculptural. They are as beautiful to display as they are to wear.
  • Some are abstract representation of things around us and others are more obvious. 
  • Each element is purposefully chosen for its aesthetic sense of colour, shape, form, texture, movement, and symbolism.​
  • For me, jewelry is an artistic way to express ones self on any given day therefore I create from those places within me. You will find an eclectic selection of  whimsical and fun, full of energy and color while others are more serious and refined, political and historical,
  • I work many media types a including vintage jewelry. I enjoy using reclaimed, found objects, metals, fibers, and organics materials because they have a story of their own which speaks to me.  Then I am able to give it new life which can be valued for its intrinsic beauty.
  • Miriam Haskell, a vintage costume jewelry designer pioneer, inspired the cage work in many of my larger necklaces & brooches. I am preserve the integrity of each element and leave it in it's original state, which increases it's value.
  • I like to challenge the viewer to take a fresh look at the seemingly mundane objects and see something more.  Like looking at a painting, or sculpture there is more to it than what you first see.
