5 out of 5 starsA wonderful gift for a friend and fellow Jon Langford fan. It's appropriate for the year we've had and our quarantined Christmas.

5 out of 5 starsThese earrings are fantastic! Not only is the vintage postage stamp beautiful and unique, the earring itself is extremely well made! So excited for this messed up world to come back to some semblance of normalcy so I can show these off!

Art Pendant - original artwork by Jon langford
delightful jewelry, hand made in Chicago
I launched Rock Candy by Helen in 2005, first showing jewelry at artist studios and group shows, then opening up an Etsy shop in 2008. It took a while for me to commit to Etsy.
During that time distinct jewelry lines have evolved: Le Cadeau (whimsical images under resin) & Briey Poste (vintage postage stamps under glass). I also collaborate with my husband, musician & artist Jon Langford, to create unique and affordable art pendants. In addition to the ready-to-wear lines, I also make bespoke pieces using pearls & gems and upcycled vintage treasures.
Each piece of jewelry is designed and individually hand-crafted by me in my Chicago studio.
In 2010, Rock Candy by Helen won the “Designer of Distinction” award.

Owner
I was trained as an architect and worked in that field for 15 years, but my love of jewelry goes back to childhood. From a young age, I was busy combining different media to make wearable art.
Shop policies
I collaborate with my husband-artist and musician Jon Langford on art pendants. He paints fantastic originals and I print his work on mother-of-pearl or acrylic pendants. We also collaborate on decorative candles. (Check out more artwork by Jon Langford here:

I revision vintage pieces, combining elements from different periods into something fresh & modern. I also take clients own jewelry and remodel it. This has been very satisfying both to me and my clients. I get to great new beautiful things and my clients get to wear updated jewelry that often has sentimental meaning.
