Vintage Rose Collection

Studio Snap...

...just a quick post today to show what's on my workbench for this week!

We just returned from a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains and I am back in the studio working on some Broken China Jewelry pieces.

Thank you to everyone who sent emails while I was away looking for more broken china jewelry...they are coming soon and I'll update my blog when my newest pieces are added to the website. Merci ~ xo ~ Joy

Soldered Vintage Holy Card Charm Necklaces!

Things are Crazy Busy in the studio right now but I am having a ball creating these pretty soldered charms! I added a half-dozen new necklaces to the website today and these are a few of my favorites....

Mere Aimable Priez Pour Nous....

Madonna and Child Silver Vintage Holy Card Necklace.....

Mon Coeur Est Tout Brulant d'Amour......

Each one-of-a-kind necklace is created using beautiful images from my collection of vintage French prayer cards and all are attached to handcrafted chains often created with vintage French and Italian rosary beads. I am LOVING the sparkle on these pretties and I hope you do too! xo ~ Joy

Vintage Sparkle!

I just listed more vintage Rosary necklaces on my website! I LOVE creating these very special jewelry pieces from broken rosary beads. My collection of vintage French and Italian religious pieces is growing by the day!

I also love working with vintage rhinestone jewelry pieces. Incorporating them into new, one-of-a-kind jewelry is really creative for me and I LOVE all of this vintage sparkle!

This Queen of France statement necklace has to be my most favorite jewelry piece to date!!! It's created with a GORGEOUS vintage rhinestone crown brooch and I made the sealed charm with a favorite Marie Antoinette image and vintage rhinestone chain....

If this piece does not sell fast, it may be headed back to my personal jewelry box. It's truly stunning in person and I hope I won't be sorry I listed it.

These pieces go fast, so if you are looking for a little bling for yourself or as a special holiday gift, come see my newest pieces HERE. Merci ~ xoxo ~ Joy
