The Heirloom Collection
In
every man's heart there is a secret nerve
that answers to the vibrations of beauty.
~Christopher Morley
To me,
the beauty and class found in vintage jewelry, especially that of the Victorian era,
is timeless. Although
these designs
are inspired by that era, they have a modern
design with a antique feel. Broken pieces of vintage china and pottery tile are
recycled into wearable art!
(To
recycle your
china or pottery, broken or not into a piece of keepsake jewelry, please see
"Custom Orders" on the
Orderingpage.)
