The Gatsby Collection


Is everyone else as excited as I am to see the new Gatsby film, which comes out next week?  I read the book just a few years ago (I know, but better late than never!), and can't wait to see the characters and costumes come to life (and in 3D no less!)!  As a tribute, I came up with a little 'Gatsby' collection from the jewelry studio...

 
Authentic Art Deco pieces from the 1920s mingle with gemstones and a touch of whimsy...

 
The earrings on the left feature vintage steel cut beaded bow-shaped shoe buckles!
 
 
 
This 'daisy' necklace below mixes lots of rhinestone dazzle with a bit of innocence in the Virgin Mary medal.

 
 
And just for fun, I created a piece that gives a nod to Jay Gatsby's infamous car...
 
 

 
As sometimes happens when I first list items on Etsy and then blog about them, the following two 'zelda' pieces already got snatched up by one of my sweet regular customers.  I hope she will love this old paste dress clip, accented with Art Deco blue glass and filigree links.

 
... And of course these matching earrings...  ;)
 
 
 
Since it's technically still Friday (though late in the day), I'll leave you with this spoof on the original 'Great Gatsby' book cover.  Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!  x o

Party!

With Christmas behind us and most people left with some time off from work, why not have a little party?
In Paris, mais oui! ;)
'...already there are wanderers, confident girls who weave here and there among the stouter and more stable, become for a sharp, joyous moment the center of a group and then excited with triumph glide on through the sea-change of faces and voices and color under the constantly changing light.' ― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
