Give the gift of SPARKLE! Excely Jewelry: modern, handmade jewels from repurposed, recycled vintage treasures plus gemstones and fine metals.
All excely jewelry designs feature ACTUAL VINTAGE components at least and usually considerably over 20 years old and all items are handmade by me. All designs are one of a kind or very limited.
I use QUALITY METALS and detail on each listing what has been used - 14k/20 gold fill, sterling silver, brass, and copper. 1/20 gold filled metals contain approximately 100X the amount of real gold as gold plated metals! Gold fill is meant to last for generations.
Occasionally I will incorporate plated chains or findings that have been salvaged from other vintage items, which is always divulged and always reflected in the price.
More than half of my work at excely jewelry is done "off screen" so to speak - sourcing, shopping, searching, cleaning, repairing, and deepening my creative well.
After several years away while my daughter was an infant and while I pursued other goals, I'm excited to be back making jewelry again.

5 out of 5 starsAs always, pics don’t do this item justice. It is absolutely beautiful in person. It arrived quickly and exquisitely packaged so that I could have given it as a gift if I wanted to (I didn’t, but it was lovely to give a gift to myself). I’ve been purchasing from excely from the very beginning and have never been disappointed with her work. 12/10 would purchase from again.

Returns and exchange details
If one of my pieces breaks or becomes damaged during NORMAL WEAR AND USE, I will gladly repair it free of charge, if possible. Please contact me right away to let me know what has happened. Please keep in mind that vintage components are not new; they are at least 20, often significantly more years old and accordingly may already show or develop signs of wear. Taking gentle care of them will prolong their continued lovely life, as will keeping them away from cleaning solvents and chemicals like perfume and hairspray.
