Dirty Little Secret


I had an amazing time working this piece together – start with a gorgeous old lock and imagine all the secrets it kept hidden from view then add in ropes of bold chain and beautiful turquoise – I almost had to keep this piece for myself!

Absolutely OOAK – you won’t see a replica of this piece floating around – the lock has it’s original soviet era patina! The primitive vintage brass element twined into the turquoise gives this piece its dramatic flair – imagine the looks you will get wearing this statement making piece!

Long drapes of chain in various steel and copper tones are mainly vintage, interspersed with turquoise pearl chain. All the vintage chains have their original patina – there is no getting around the fact that nature does this best! A choker of turquoise nuggets brings bright color to your neckline and sets off the long cascade of chains perfectly. This piece drops an amazing 18 inches from the clasp!

Not for the faint of heart this piece will set you apart from the rest! Give your dramatic flair an outlet – feel the drape of this necklace and wonder what secrets it will hold for you!

Dark Shadows


Dark shadows is coming soon – be ready! 

Certain to be an instant cult classic with it’s all-star cast featuring Johnny Depp, Eva Green, Helena Bonham carter and the incomparable Michele Pfeiffer as the matriarch. My newest piece “Elizabeth” was inspired by Michelle’s character. This necklace is a combination of glamour with a touch of gothic beauty. Absolutely breathtaking!

This is a vintage piece – the brooch at the center is a stunning example of 50’s era glamour with its clear shadow crystals and Morion aurora borealis rhinestones. This piece glitters and sparkles like crazy. The brooch portion is about 3.5 inches in diameter making it a striking addition to your outfit.

The craftsmanship on this piece will shock you – each rhinestone is carefully hand set in individual prongs for long life and added sparkle. The necklace portion is of dual chain blended together to form the thick knot work you see. The gold tones and bluish green tones of the metals work well with the brooch.

No detail was left unattended to. Even the clasp of this necklace is adorned with a beautiful sparkling crystal stone. This piece is simple elegance, one of a kind to be certain! Wear it to the movie!
