Vintage that specializes in high-end, drop-dead glamour, from the Victorian/Edwardian era up through the present day. Flapper shawls, clingy starlet gowns, New Look party dresses, glitzy coats, Pucci maxis, with a reworked section that harmonizes these disparate periods together into sweet new creations. The accessories page is full of unusual detours from all-retro styling, preferring a bold, modern look that veers between delicate and rugged: obi belts, body harnesses, rings flaunting chunks of sparkling rock, modern neck ruffs, and chain/fringe necklaces that are as stunning as they are gigantic.

This shop immortalizes all kinds of vintage vehicles, dipping not just into kustom kulture but going back to antique roadsters for splashing across the shiny expanse of a cuff bracelet. The Recycling page repurposes emblems into necklaces, grills poke up from wrists and fingers, tikis and tropical flora also pop up as recurring motifs, and custom is welcome.
Gold and silver charms that offer something for everyone from ice cream cones to brains. Brass knuckles, hearts, grenades, bowling pins, snubnosed pistols, wisdom teeth, keys, tiny little pumpkins, the knives and scissors would make cute gifts for chefs and hairdressers. Also necklaces and bracelets where the charms are worked into the chain, cufflinks, and rings where the cupcakes are sprinkled with diamonds.
Handmade jewels hybridized from metal and gemstones. Among silver honeycombs, small waterfalls of chain, and quartz-beaded “full moons,” the Bonne Chance collection renders the rockabilly card suit in rivety discs and dangling charms. Commissions welcome.
A mix of vintage finds and glittery medieval reproductions. Giant 1960’s boho necklaces, bakelite, a section just for Sam Niello Thai-deco goodies, and a page of cufflinks and tie bars for the guys among the usual rhinestone brooches and cocktail rings. The new stuff is devoted to the Renaissance, which besides bracelets and earrings, also includes the period-specific styles of girdle belts and collars of office, and some of it is modeled directly from movies and TV shows.
Retro fashion conjured up from organic, sustainable, and vintage fabrics. Which means, eco-pasties! Some dresses and skirts that wiggle and swing, but the catalog’s main treasure trove is in the lingerie, camis and nighties and a small avalanche of old-fashioned knickery underwear. Also hair bands, beaded bracelets and necklaces, flower brooches and hair clips, knitted scarves and hats, and bamboo-fabric sleep masks.
Decor and adornment replicated from art and artifacts around the world: Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Hindu, Asian, African, Aztec, medieval, and a touch of abstract modern are scattered throughout pages of historically-inspired jewelry and housewares. Loads of statuary from Buddha to Beethoven, the games include mummy bridge decks, the gadgetry runs towards sundials and hourglasses, and Frank Lloyd wright pops up in the earrings. Thanks
