Once upon a time a jewelry designer compulsively collected vast treasures from around the globe to use in her jewelry making. One day she realized she had too much and it was time to let them go...

I have always sourced with abandon. Traveling and scouring bazaars, souks, flea markets and workshops around the globe. My studio quickly filled up with Tibetan pendants and beads, Qing Dynasty silver, Indian silver amulets, Moroccan hamsas and Tuareg amulets, Thai Buddhas, antique amber, carved jade from China, ancient coral, gorgeous turquoise, freshwater pearls..and the list goes on.

This abundance fueled my creativity as I made and sold one-of-a-kind jewelry with these treasures. And then there comes a time when one needs to slow it down and take account. As I work toward retirement from jewelry making and selling, I realize that I have too many treasures stashed away in my studio. I need to pass them along, to continue their legacy and their narrative, and lighten my studio.

Now I am making them available to you in this etsy store. That is why you will find unusual pieces and sometimes limited quantities of unique items. As well as an abundance of findings and supplies that I bought in very large quantities. I have shopped at wholesale prices and bargained/haggled prices on large volumes. I am passing these great prices along to you. Everything is listed here at or less than the price I paid for it. Crazy I know. But crazy good for you!

Many of the items listed here are vintage or antique. As such, they carry the qualities of age and the variations of nature. These qualities are part of their appeal and are considered an essential element of the value and beauty of these components. Please review photos carefully. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Please note that the metals in many vintage or antique components are unknown. So when I refer to silver or gold I am referring to the color. When I refer to 'Sterling Silver' or 'Fine Silver' I am referring to specific precious metals (sterling silver is 92.5% silver and fine silver is 99.9% silver). Gold vermeil refers to gold over sterling silver. Gold plated refers to gold over a non-precious metal base. If you ever have any questions about the metal content of a piece, please don't hesitate to ask.

If you have an interest in a large volume purchase, please reach out to me.

Customer service is my top priority. If you are dissatisfied for any reason please contact me immediately.
