Gatsby Style Jewelry

This past week I have been working on some new jewelry designs which I am calling my Gatsby Collection.  This is a collection of deco style jewelry inspired by the popular Gatsby style trend.

I gave these designs a bold and spirited look with the large glass beads and pearls, but added some softness with the spectacular antique brass curb chain.  This chain has the most unbelievable sheen to it and lies flat against the skin giving it a definite feminine and romantic look.






The earrings shown in the last photo are designed to be worn with any of the necklaces.  There are two styles of necklaces - long beaded strands and long pendant styles - these are made to be able to be worn alone or in layers.  I really like the layered look!

Right now I have placed these designs in Ruby's Gift of Charlotte, NC but will be making more soon to sell in my Etsy shop!  Here's a photo of my booth at Ruby's Gift - if you're ever in the area, be sure to visit!


Thanks so much for visiting!

    Those are so pretty. I love the vintage inspired jewelry and I think you really captured the look of the Gatsby era. I bet you do well with these pieces.

    Your jewelry is lovely :-) I wish they would make it easier to post things to etsy--- gosh, I feel like I spend a lot of time just clicking on things and uploading seems to take forever lately.

      Thank you Cheryl for visiting and commenting! Yes it is indeed time consuming to post and upload on Etsy .. I've been thinking of opening my own website but not sure at this time. Anyway, thank again and love your Blog!
