Getting Started

We are still up and running with the steam-punk lockets, but I've also just added a couple of vintage pieces to my collection.  My parents collected vintage jewelry, so I grew up scouring the display shelves of non air-conditioned antique shops.  Those were the days before ebay.

I'm particularly drawn to art deco style (though the brooch pictured is Bohemian).  I think I like it for the same reason I like steampunk:  the juxtaposition of geometric form and nature.  I love the idea of machine and how our society both hates it and reveres it.  Mostly though, I think I really like old stuff.  Come visit my shop if you have the chance, or tell me what you think about my jewelry.  Advice welcome!
