New vintage jewelry and feather hair comb preview

Expect to see these little beauties in my etsy and online shop very soon...Vintage Art Deco jewelry attached to a spray of feathers.

Megan's jewelry

One of the most memorable parts of my sister's wedding was the morning of the big day. All the girls gathered in her room for breakfast, pedicures and manicures and in the corner, on an antique dresser, I set up dozens of pieces of jewelry. Some went for more of a Deco look with silver and clear rhinestones while others went with more 1950s jewelry in golden tones. I loved that Megan didn't expect all the us to match exactly (good thing too since there's no way I'd be able to find five identical pieces of vintage anything!)

Megan was going to wear the necklace shown above which is actually mine but in the end she went with a simpler look with a pair of chandeliers, a cuff bracelet and a rhinestone star hair piece. We also put some little star jewelry on her blue shoes too. (I'll post a little how-to on that soon. They ended up looking adorable.)

The photos were taken by the amazing Max Wanger .

Honey....

If we win the lottery can I have this?

Happy one month anniversary Megan and Phil!

She's here -- and I'm back!

Introducing the newest member of our little growing family -- Lucia Louise! Welcome to the world little Lulu! Doesn't she look jaunty in her little mini skirt and beret. I plan on dressing her up like a little Christmas elf for as long as she'll let me. Hoping hair will come in soon so she'll look less like Winston Churchill.

So after a long absence from my jewelry line I'm back working feverishly to catch up a little. It was a tough pregnancy and after a few stress related incidents, I decided I need to take it easy. And as I couldn't drop my 3-year-old or real job, I had to take a break from Noaki Jewelry.

Anyway I've had this creative burst and posted maybe 50 pieces or more in the last couple of weeks with more to come.

Thanks for your patience!

It's been a loooong time.....

Ok. So I don't even know where to begin -- it's been sooo long since I last posted anything. I do, however, have a good excuse. I'm pregnant! With a girl! The first trimester was tough. In between bouts of morning sickness I got pretty sick and was basically told that I really need to cut back on my activities and relax for the baby. It really didn't take much convincing, I was so exhausted. So I put down my jewelry tools for a time to completely recover. That said, I'm finally back to my old self and have been posting a bunch of a new pieces to my etsy site and website!

Here's a little peek:






Anyway, thanks so much to those of you who were so patient and understanding with me when I couldn't accept any custom orders.
