German glass jewelry

Just listed on our website, vintage "German glass" necklaces and earrings.  We found these treasures at the Tucson Gem and mineral show in February and have finally put them on the website.

These Byzantine motif cabochons are hand painted and very rare.  They are from West Germany, circa 1930.  One of our favorite finds at the Tucson Gem and mineral show!  We have necklaces and earrings available in gold, green or ivory.  We set each cabochon in an antique gold setting.  Paired with either a 24K gold filled chain or gold filled ear wires.

You can find these beauties in our Vintage Inspired Collection on our website.

photo shoot part II

Here are some more images from our photo shoot last month.  We love this picture of the African Village with Jackson Square far off in the distance. When leaving the African village we discovered a huge patch of 4 leaf clovers!  Photography by LaceyG Photography.

We also found this lovely purple house in Algiers Point right by the river.  Kat is wearing our meridian necklace and meridian earrings.  

And some shots by the Old Point Bar.  Kat is wearing turquoise Etruscan scroll earrings, eclipse earrings and the handmade heart necklace.

photo shoot!

Last month we had a great  photo shoot with LaceyG Photography.   Here are some of the final pictures which we posted on our website last week.

Our first location - my front porch in historic Algiers Point!  Kat models our vintage drop earrings, nest jewelry set and peapod jewelry set. while wearing a gorgeous vintage dress from Blue Moon Antique Mall.

After stopping at The Point's local cafe, Toute Suite, we ventured to the Mississippi River levee where we explored the abandoned African Village and then hopped on the Algiers Ferry.  

By the way, our Algiers Ferry is in danger of being closed down!  Save our Ferries and sign the petition to keep it running!

Kat is wearing our triple linked earrings with teardop necklace, mod drop earrings with asymmetrical bird necklace and our organic hoop earrings with organic hoop necklace.

Photo shoot part 2 coming soon!

We will be featured in the Buyer at Large ad this summer in Gift Shop Magazine.

Excited to be doing a photo shoot with LaceyG Photography next moth.  Here are a few pieces the models might be wearing.  Is there something we missed that you think we should photograph on a live model?

Make sure to check the blog at the end of June to see the finish products. We are so excited!
