Holiday Vintage Showcase
Vintage Lockets:
Creating an heirloom is more personal with pictures. Customize your own charm bracelet for Nana, make a rope necklace for your favorite dog lover with a picture of Fido, or create some vintage inspired earrings with ancestry pics. These vintage lockets are mostly made with brass & in the US ca. 1960's & 70's.
Vintage Glass Beads in Holiday Hues:
European glass is the perfect foundation with which to build a holiday heirloom gift. Tones of reds & greens with accents of gold & silver. Made between the 1940's & mid-60's our vintage glass collection has lots of perfect finds.
Vintage Lucite Beads in Reds & Greens:
Craft that retro-fabulous holiday look that makes me think of spending holidays at my Mimi’s house. The mod look of cherry red & black were her signature colors: to wear, decorate with & for her jewelry. Cherry reds & emerald greens are the staples of retro-holiday jewelry designs. These vintage finds were made in Rhode Island ca. 1960’s – early 1980’s
Antique Italian Christmas Seed Beads:
We stumbled upon these very old bricks of antique Italian seed bead hanks about 6 months ago. They are in the 'Christmas bead' style and feature loads of rainbow colors. Most likely made for the demands of the African trade, these Italian beauties will give you a whole color palette within 1 hank of beads. Most have tags & check out these pictures of the old paper bricks that we found them in.
