In my shop you will find lovely pieces of vintage jewellery and accessories that I have hand picked,

In my Etsy shop you will find lovely pieces of vintage jewellery that I have hand picked from antique and flea markets and little local antique shops,and auctions. I particularly search for glamorous, elegant and timeless pieces that would wonderfully accessorise your wedding outfit, evening dress or prom dress. If you are looking for something stylish, individual and unique then I may just have what you are looking for. You will also see some one of a kind re-purposed jewellery which I make from the things I find that are broken or sad or have bits missing. I also offer a restringing and hand knotting service for your pearls or other jewellery. Or I can repurpose some old beads or broken heirloom into something new. So if you have some old jewellery hidden away in a drawer, send me a message and i'll see if I can help give it a new life.

New in my Etsy shop… a faux baroque pearl necklace with a beautiful clasp. Baroque pearls are pearls which are not symmetrical or completely round, but are irregular in shape. These are handknotted onto a 935 silver clasp.

These remind me of some gloves I had in the 1980’s 😳when Madonna started the trend 💃

4 different pearl chokers with blue stones in the style of Lady Diana (bit much less expensive than her real pearl ones!) new in my Etsy vintage shop.

It’s amazing that this lovely necklace is around 100 years old and still looks beautiful !

I found this rare and collectable Czech glass necklace in a huge vintage and antiques barn amongst 1000’s of pieces of jewellery/furniture/household things and every other thing you can think of!

I didn’t realise until I got home that 2 of the yellow glass flowers were broken, but I have now replaced them with some little pink flowers which I have hand wired with bronze wire and added in. They match in really well.

It’s not perfect but it’s still beautiful.

Ciro real pearl 2 strand necklace which has just been restrung. It took me a long time to restring these beautiful real pearls because I wanted to do it perfectly, and I am really pleased with them.

They look and feel wonderful and close with a 9 ct gold push in box clasp. The pearls are authenticated with this certificate from the Pacific Pearl company dated from the 1960’s.

Have a look in my Etsy shop for these and other real pearls and costume pearls.

How do you know if your pearl necklace needs restringing?

*Is the silk thread stretched and showing gaps between the pearls?
*Is the silk thread dirty, discoloured or frayed?
*Are the pearls dull and dirty?
*Is the French wire (where the thread attaches to the pearls) black or green and tarnished?

If the answer is yes then it’s time to restring your pearls. Restringing will protect your necklace from breaking and loosing pearls. It will make it look more pleasing due to being correctly tensioned, with pearls evenly spaced, and it will drape better. It will also help preserve their beauty and value.

Whether you have modern or vintage pearls be sure to look after them and they will be beautiful and glamorous for years to come ✨.
