The Luella Collection - Brand-new one-of-a-kind treasures created from vintage jewelry left by my late grandmother. When my mother asked me what I wanted of my grandmother's, I told her to bring me some of her old jewelry. "Not the good stuff," I said, "the FUN stuff!" I wanted to take all those great old things apart and remake them with the gold and silver wire so that they could be enjoyed by future generations. The result is what I'm calling The Luella Collection. Due to the nature of the supplies, these pieces are all limited edition or one-of-a-kind. I'm quite sure my Grandma would be delighted by the results. I hope you are, too! If you're close by, please stop in to see these fabulous treasures. For those of you who are farther away, please call me or email and I'll be happy to send you pictures.

Note: Due to the nature of the supplies, these pieces are limited edition
or one of a kind. If your selection has already sold, you will be notified
as soon as possible.

Summer Skies 1-7/8" long x 1-1/4" wide $30.00 What was once a clip-on earring of pale blue rhinestones in a silvertone setting is now a spectacular little pendant set in sterling silver wire with glittering light blue Swarovski crystal accents. Not too big, not too small, and sure to get noticed! I had made and sold another pendant using the mate to the earring, so this is a last-chance, one-of-a-kind piece!

Essence of Love 1-1/4" long x 5/8" wide $24.00 I'm not entirely sure what this used to be. It was a drop of some kind, maybe the end of a Y-shaped necklace? I found it floating alone in a box of vintage goodies, and decided it would make a lovely little pendant. Two bright red rhinestones, surrounded by little irridescent aurora borealis rhinestones. I added a simple twist-wire bail, which should fit a chain or cord up to about 4mm. One-of-a-kind.

Pink Swirls Sculpted Pendant 2-1/2" long by 1-3/8" wide $25.00 Swirls of multiple shades of pink surrounded by swirls of gold wire. I love this piece! A gorgeous, lightweight acrylic stone circa 1960's, in a setting that isn't so fancy that you couldn't wear it to work as well as out for the evening. The bail is very large and should fit up to a 10mm Omega. Bright and fun!

Stark Contrast necklace - 23" earrings - 2-1/2" $30.00/set The design of this necklace is very close to its original state. I shortened it enough to get the matching pair of earrings out of it, and I restrung it with 14kt gold filled accent beads and a spring ring clasp. Lightweight acrylic jet-black teardrop beads and bright-white round beads--an outstanding sharp contrast! And won't this set go with just EVERYTHING? One-of-a-kind.
