How do you upcycle jewelry?

I make upcycled jewelry from other jewelry pieces that are damaged. I find most of my jewelry at estate sales or thrift stores and "rescue" any high-quality components. I repurpose components such as natural stones and quality metal jewelry findings to create one-of-a-kind pieces with character and charm. The intention is to reduce waste, and of course, that these items will be loved once again.

Will my jewelry item look exactly like the photos?

I photograph items in soft lighting to show true color and detail, but because many pieces include natural stones or vintage elements, slight variation is possible. Please feel free to reach out if you'd like additional photos, which I'd be happy to provide.

Why is the supply so low for each product?

Because all upcycled jewelry is handmade using a limited amount of components, I'm usually only able to create a few pieces. I prefer it to be this way to keep items unique.

How quickly do you ship?

I typically ship same or next business day. You'll receive tracking as soon as your order ships.

Do you accept returns?

I really want you to love your piece! That's the whole point. Unlike many other vintage places, I accept returns on almost all of my curated items. Please reach out to me with any issues or concerns. I'd be happy to work with you to solve any issues.

What technique and supplies do you use for jewelry making?

I use tarnish-resistant metal wire for my wire-wrapped jewelry and findings. I use a hand drill to drill holes into raw stones. I use pure metal plated hoops or spacer beads to ensure that these little treasures last as long as possible. I include as much detail as possible in the listing description, however, I may not always know the exact source of specific components as they're not brand new. That being said, I never claim stone or metal purity unless the original packaging/item is stamped or stated as such.

Stunning vintage cameo clip-on earrings signed HG for Henry Griffith, with 1/20 12K gold-filled markings and 1940s patented clip findings. These petite oval earrings feature raised ivory portrait cameos on warm peach backgrounds, framed in a detailed gold-filled rope and beaded border.

The cameos appears hand-carved with visible raised detail and small recessed divots, though the exact cameo material itself has not been professionally tested.
