I must admit, we are true Victorians at heart. While we've dedicated many, many years to reasearching the American Civil War, we enjoy any and all things Victorian.

I've been collecting jewerly from an early age, starting with modern, working back to the early plastics era of Bakelite and Lucite, and I've finally settled in on the Victorian era. Every piece of jewelry has a story to tell, and I feel it is my responsibility to tell it!

Tom's specialty is American military history, and he is the author of "Cadet Gray and Butternut Brown, Notes on Confederate Uniforms" and "Civil War Cockades". He is currently working on a new book detailing activities in Missouri in 1861.

We love traveling and searching for "treasures" to bring to our Etsy customers. We've been selling on Etsy for over six years now and I love the fact that I've been able to make friends with customers from across the globe!
