Jewelry offered by The Filigree Garden is created from a combination of vintage beads and metals, recycled parts, and new materials. Each item description will indicate the composition of the piece. To be more earth-friendly, I am always researching new resources for environmentally-conscious metals and findings, and I prefer to purchase American-made components. Quite often, you may find jewelry pieces here that contain old elements rescued from a broken or vintage necklace, or a pair of earrings. These elements are “mature” and so, not perfect. They may show some patina of age, but that is part of their beauty. Rest assured, however, that earrings will always have new earwires, and necklace chains will receive new clasps when needed.
I make many one-of-a-kind pieces which can’t be duplicated, but I will be happy to create something special for you – just ask! Pierced earrings can be made into clips for no extra charge. If you need the length of a necklace changed, please email prior to purchase. Earwires in various metals are also available on request, to meet any allergy needs you may have.
Please note that jewelry offered in the shop is not intended for children.
