EXPECT IMPERFECTION.

I love vintage and aged beads.  I love tearing apart vintage necklaces and reclaiming the beads for a new and fresh design.  In addition to a great deal of vintage beads, I also incorporate reclaimed and occasionally recycled glass beads into my designs (yup, soda bottles).  Depending on what you buy, your piece of jewelry might be made of sterling silver mixed with pewter, plastic, Swarovski and hand cut beads that aren’t cut to perfection.  Sometimes a jumble of goodies that makes your piece unique and one-of-a-kind.  Please keep in mind when purchasing a vintage or recycled piece that you may find imperfections such as tarnished copper.  I often purposely do not polish copper because the patina is so nice the way it is.  So, expect imperfections here and there.  That’s what makes the jewelry unique -- and yes, perfect.
