Pleather Flowers: New in Design

We've been loving and working with center drilled flower components for a long time now. We have finds in metal, lucite and more. Now we have our own custom line in repurposed vinyl, also known as pleather.

Available in these fashion forward color-way packs, vinyl flowers will bring your designs to the next level.

Vintage Lace, Our Hand-Dyed Beauties

We have been sitting on loads of vintage lace and lace appliques since the late 1990s.  We purchased the contents of a fabric store that also sold beads.  These laces are high-end European from Switzerland, France and England, and most were made in the early 1980s.  We have custom-dyed this lace for use in jewelry and other personal adornment.  Colors may not be colorfast, so please pre-wash if you intend to use this in clothing to avoid running and fading.

Larger Eyelets for Riveting

WE ARE SO EXCITED to unveil that we now have attachments for the Piercing & Riveting tool that will allow you to pierce larger holes and set larger eyelets. It's a 3/32" sized hole, and again, the possibilities and ways you can use this new feature are endless!

Also just in, several new findings for riveting creations. We have new bails, pin backs, & more!

Seed Beads of Vintage Eras

We have just come across a stash of old seed beads, bugle beads and other seed bead sundries. Most are ca. 1910s - 1950s and hail from Japan, France and Italy. Check out our latest stash and hurry! They'll go fast as they are very limited!

Staff designer Ashley Bunting created this vintage seed bead necklace, integrating warm copper accents. Mostly pretty in pink, this stunning neck piece reveals a few surprising purple accents. Ashley embellished the work with little sprigs of ribbon clippings and a dainty lavender bow. The coalescence of beads, ribbon and chain create a nest-like wrapped necklace.

Tube Lucite Beads from the 60s - 80s

We have loads of vintage Lucite tubes from the warehouse we cleaned out in 2004.

This shape was extremely popular when they were manufacturing for jewelry lines like Coro, Avon, and Trifari back in the 1960s, 70s & 80s.

So we've challenged ourselves to come up with some fun and fantastic ideas on how to use them today.
