Antique Brooch Pendant Necklace
This is an example of what I do with antique broochs' This piece has been re-styled into a necklace/choker. A client bought me this brooch that use to belong to her aunt and had sentimental value. She rarely wears brooches so I clipped off the pin and wired the piece onto a heavy gauge anit-tarnish brass wire. I added smooth glass transparent beads approx 12mm and gold spacers to complete the piece and now she has much better use of this heirloom. Reinvent your antique jewelry with me!

All handmade, handcrafted fashion jewelry. I specialize in semi-precious stones and Swarvoski Crystals. I use 14k goldfilled wire and chains, sterling silver, vermeil, and solid gold by request. Creating has been my entire life. I started out as a fine arts painter and needed a break from the oils and solvents. I bought a few beads, some wire and started playing with it, and I was hooked! Jewelry designing and making is my art. I also create collages that have a glitzy jewelry appeal to them. I love my job!
