Laura began her love for vintage fashion at a young age, admiring the
jewelry that her grandmothers and mother wore and she began reading up and
collecting in her late teens. For several years she worked with
semi-precious beads and created earthy type jewelry but still, her real
passion was for that glamorous, vintage, Hollywood style jewelry worn by
beautiful woman such as Grace Kelly, Bette Davis, and Audrey Hepburn.
Now, decades later, Laura finds herself creating the jewelry that has been
her passion for so many years. She has amassed an enormous collection of
vintage rhinestones and findings and now spends her late evenings at her
workshop desk, dreaming up and creating what she likes to call her
“sparkly babies.”
As for how her jewelry is made, Laura reveals that nearly all of her
stones are hand set in vintage, prong cup settings and built from the
ground up. Every piece is tested for durability and she selects each
rhinestone carefully to ensure that it has just the right color and fire.
“Every piece I create is one of a kind. That is to say that I never make
the same piece of jewelry twice,” Laura says. “I think it adds something
special for my customers to know that they are the only people on earth
who have that design and color combination.”
Laura makes brooches, necklaces, bracelets, hair adornments, bridal
accessories, full sets, earclips, earrings, and even shoe clips. As
always, she welcomes custom orders for any occasion. From bridesmaids
gifts to birthdays, she’ll work hard to create something unique and
beautiful for you based on exactly what you enjoy color and design-wise.
