I love the organic, imperfect nature of handmade jewelry. Each of my pieces is one of a kind. I love working with sterling silver, semiprecious stones, and vintage findings. In my day job I work at Anthropologie, Inc. but I spend most of my free time making jewelry and trying to develop my business, Villette Jewelry. I attended Moore College of Art and Design for metalsmithing and graduated from Temple University with a degree in English- Creative Writing. If you are interested in any Villette Jewelry products shown or a custom piece, please email VilletteJewelry@gmail.com.
This is a ring setting I didn't know much about until recently. The setting, called a Belcher, is defined by a stone held by prongs cut out of the shank of the ring. They give a claw-like appearance that looks almost gothic to me. The dainty Victorian belcher rings are especially appealing. (photo courtesy ofMorning Glory Antiques)
I suspect the secret of personal attraction is locked up in our unique imperfections, flaws and frailties. See the link below for more info.
