Announcement Motel66 is a nostalgic salute to a decaying era of glamor lit by the presence of neon...both working and not. Many thanks for visiting Motel66. I make silver jewellery handcast and hand fired enamel. I do not attempt to finish/polish these designs to commercial perfection. There might be a fire stain or an area that doesn't glimmer like another area, this is intentional, Motel66 designs are in a state of perfect decay exactly like the 1950's buildings they are based upon.

Once you check in, you might never check out !

Absolutely wonderful rings! My husband and I purchased these for our anniversary. He is not a big "jewelry person," yet he loves this one! We have not taken them off since we received them. They stay on, stacked on top of our original wedding bands. Beautiful craftsmanship, excellent communication, and an all-around nice and sincere person to do business with. THANK YOU!

Love the enamel colours on this one !

A huge letdown in Las Vegas led to a thunderbolt of inspiration that became Motel66.

I have been in the jewellery trade for about 15 years. I've seen the industry chang and old traditional jewellery designs fade. It was modern Rock'n'Roll jewellery in a Renaissance style on a small scale via the store I worked in, making for musicians, bikers and wannabes that paid my bills. A chance meeting in The Rainbow Bar when I was in L.A. on vacation led to a frantic drive to Las Vegas the very same day to meet a designer/clothing giant who was intrigued by my cheeky email and ideas and designs of Rock'n'Roll jewellery to complement his clothing range, this would have led to my designs being in every Hard Rock cafe! Lets just say little ol' me and the giant designer had egos of a different nature. I excused myself to go to the bathroom and didn't return.

All the money I had left allowed me to get a room in downtown Las Vegas with the buzzing neon sign outside my window. Stood in the shower I went from 100% deflated and miserable to 100% inspiration as I looked out the window and I hit the street taking photos of the jaded neon of 1950's Vegas. These silver designs are heavy solid and hopefully capture a little bit of the dusty backroads of a fading American era, a time where you could check in to Motel66.

I love Americana architecture. 1950's diners, drive ins, cheap motels. The colours and the ambiance of the era inspired me to design this range of solid 925 silver pieces of jewellery.
