Ladies, way in the back of that jewelry box that you never use (you know, the one up on that shelf that you dread dusting) is that loose tangle of string and beads that was a necklace that belonged to your grandmother that you wouldn't dare throw away because of it's sentimental value and vintage charm. Or maybe you are like me and have a whole handful of broken "junk" as your mom called it as she gave you the ziplock baggy full of random old things one day. Then you put it in a drawer... and
that was ten years ago. Whether you have a necklace that has broken strands of beads, or even a perfectly good item that is just too 'old fashioned' for you, give that jewelry love and life again! Don't throw it away! Don't spend more money on jewelry that you will be sick of in a week! I am here to help!
Introducing
Creative Vintage Reconstructions.
It is so fun to be able to wear a piece of heirloom jewelry that once had another life. It is even more fun to breath new life into it with a fresh, modern approach that works with your style TODAY while still maintaining it's vintage charm! It does no good being stuck in a box collecting dust. So much of the jewelry from the 1940's & 50's can become fun and casual for everyday without losing a bit of it's original intended glamour!

With the utmost care, I will reconstruct whatever item I am given based on the purpose for the finished piece, the personal style points of the wearer, and with subtle artistic freedom. Through out the process I will stay within a personal budget and guidelines which will be decided during the estimate. Give me as much freedom to create or as little as you want! Depending on the size of the project, some items may require a deposit to get started, and most items will take no more than two weeks for completion depending on quantities at that time. This process does require the customer to have an open mind and allow for artistic discretion in some areas. Not all things are possible and I will do my best to communicate all possibilities during the estimate.
Now get to digging in those drawers and jewelry boxes! This is a wonderful and thoughtful gift idea as well for almost any occasion that calls for a sentimental token. Let me design something thoughtful for your daughter's birthday or for your mom for Christmas! Maybe there is a necklace I could make into two bracelets for you and your sister! How amazing it will be to have a custom one-of-a-kind heirloom gift that is hand crafted just for them. If you want, you can even give me something to work with and let yourself be surprised!
You give me the pieces. I will create the masterpiece.
