YoursTruli Blogs: And the listings have begun.....

I am so excited to announce I have started listing my jewelry creations for sale again both on Artfire.com and Etsy.com! It's a small start but I am thrilled to be back and will be listing more and more ( and even more!) as the days go by. So peek back often to be sure you don''t miss anything AND I am also accepting custom orders again too! If you are looking for that extra special piece to match your Renaissance / LARP / SCA / Medieval Wear or a OOAK that will completely WOW them made especially for you I would love the opportunity to work with you.

Thank you for visiting my blog!

Please Support The Arts
Henry VIII was a dedicated and lavish patron of the arts.
There are many ways to show support for the arts, but one of the best is to purchase exceptional handmade work for yourself or as special gifts for family & friends from artists and craftspeople.
The King would heartily approve!

Creating quality handcrafted jewelry and rosaries since 1998
Made with a beautiful blend of the old with the new
featuring genuine antique and vintage components.

I have a real passion for vintage and antique jewelry
From the very first time as a child that I tried on my grandmother's old chunky lime green beaded necklace with the matching overly large earrings I was completely hooked! I started studying period jewelry in my 20's and collecting in later years, creating my own vintage/antique style jewelry happened quite by accident.

Over the years of collecting I would often run across pieces that were in really sad shape and I could not stand to see these once beautiful pieces just tossed away so I started a box to stash away the unwearable pieces. I can remember the day I went to add a few more pieces to the already overly full box and had to laugh at myself for having such a large box of useless jewelry. I dumped it all out and began to sort through it to see what I could part with. Most of it had "parts" of it that were still good and it seemed a real crime to toss out the entire piece so I started taking them apart keeping the good bits, getting rid of the unusable and ended up with, you guessed it, a big box of sparkly parts!

I have always loved to create so I think for me it was a natural progression from there, picking through the old beautiful bits and pieces and remaking them into the incredible wearable art they were meant to be. Of course my knowledge and passion for vintage and antique jewelry would heavily influence my style with the opulent designs of Middle Ages, Renaissance and Tudor to the romance of Victorian and Nouveau being my amongst my favorite eras. You will find I am very partial to beautifully aged brass working almost exclusively with it and large sparkly vintage cut glass jewels ~ making me well known for my Big, Bold and Beautiful pieces. It has been very rewarding for me to create something that I love and to share my jewelry creations with others!

Heirloom Quality Rosaries and Chaplets
The origin of the rosary is rich with history that continues to bring peace to peoples lives today. Inspired by prayer beads, rosaries and chaplets from times past, each rosary or chaplet I create is a skillfully handcrafted labor of love featuring genuine antique and vintage components. A spiritually beautiful reflection of history that speaks to the heart, so beautiful they invite you to prayer.
