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!

Eyeglass Chains Revisited

My eyeglass chains have over the years become one of the more popular jewelry designs I sell in my Etsy shop.  My Signature designs are a necklace style with a loop for holding a pair of eyeglasses such as shown in the designs pictured at left and below:

Rose Pink Glass and Gunmetal Eyeglass Chain

The way you use these eyeglass chains is to fold your eyeglasses and slip one of the ear pieces through the loop.  Very functional.  But over the years, I have had several requests for customizing my eyeglass chains into eyeglass leashes with the traditional rubber or cord ends.  I have also had requests to make them suitable for use as ID-badge lanyards.  

So I will now offer my eyeglass chains with three style options:  Leash, Necklace, or Lanyard.  For example, my Black Pearl Crystal Eyeglass Chain is one of my more popular designs:

Signature Necklace Style

Eyeglass Leash on Left, Necklace with Loop on Right

Here are all five options available for this design:

Options 1 & 2:  Leash style.
  • Offered with traditional black cord grippers in choice of either bright silver balls or black gunmetal corrugated balls.  


Options 3 & 4:  My Signature Necklace style.
  • Offered in either a standard 20mm loop or a larger 25mm loop. 
  • I decided to offer the option for a larger loop based on requests in the past for loops large enough to accomodate extra wide ear pieces found on some eyeglasses and sunglasses.  
  • The loops are a beautiful hammered antiqued silver.


Option 5:  Lanyard style.
  • Similar to the necklace design but with a smaller 16mm loop and a bright silver swivel clip for attaching an ID badge to.
