Handmade Neo-Retro Jewelry: A Playful Mix of Old and New

I am also *always* open to custom creations. If you see beads that you like, but want different earwires, a different metal, or a tweak of the design, just let me know. I make everything individually by hand, so customizing is quite easy to do AND it ensures you get exactly what you want.

I love vintage beads, but I am started to feel like Scrooge just sitting around looking at and counting my beads. Alas, it was time to part with some of my collection. The master plan: I will make jewelry! I will sell jewelry! I will buy more vintage beads!

My designs, unlike my life, are simple and elegant. The beads and findings are so lovely that I don't need to embellish them; instead, my part is to find the perfect pairing.

This is durable, well-made, everyday jewelry that, hopefully, will put a smile on your face! It's a little funky (and sometimes chunky), mixed with a little Mod, a wee bit of Retro, a dash of irreverence (just a teeny, tiny dash, but it's there), and some post-War political, economic, social, and technological/scientific history* (really -- the beads are material artifacts of the mid-20th century) and the result is jewelry that is colorful, whimsical and playful.

If you ever have a problem with something you have purchased, please let me know and I will make it right.
