5 out of 5 starsI bought the Celtic Dragon pin on a whim, and liked it so much, I bought the sterling dragon earrings. The design is so interesting! I don’t need it for my glasses— it looks great on my winter coat.

5 out of 5 starsThe sterling Celtic Dragon earrings are beautiful— so delicate and detailed. I am really pleased with them. I have made a number of purchases from Peggy for gifts and for myself and all have been stunning!

5 out of 5 starsSuperb (again) craftsmanship. I have a facsimile of the manuscript that has the original illumination in it. The detail is excellent. Swiftly shipped. A+ transaction.

History with Style
FIRST: You can see my jewelry line now at EtsyVintageValues. We've joined forces hope to see you there
Totally clueless I backed into jewelry making over 40 years ago. Most of my designs are replicas of actual objects in museums. I hand carve each model in wax or clay keeping all the flaws and wear marks that give each original their own unique personality.
I've worked from my live/work store front in the East Village since 1979. It's a really tiny shop but I have a huge front window which makes all the difference when living small.
I've done commission and sold to many museum shops over the years including The Museum of Fine Arts Boston, The New York Public Library and Cooper-Hewitt Museum of Design among others. Sold to lots of Irish shops too, but sadly most have closed which is what prompted me to open my Etsy shop. I'm so glad I did!

Gay Casting has been closed for over 15 years now. For 20 years they cast the pewter production designs you see in my shop. I will always be grateful to Louis Velazques a wonderful man who mentored me all through my business career.
