Welcome!

Welcome to my blog!  I created this space to talk about the lovely Georgian-style collet necklaces that I create for my Etsy shop.

I've posted about them several times on my costuming blog, but I'm getting a little collet-obsessed lately so I didn't want to clog that space with my musings on these lovely necklaces.

I have an Etsy shop, Dames a la Mode, where I sell these collet necklaces, Georgian-style paste glass earrings, and historical ribbons, paper millinery flowers, and other goodies to use in historical costuming and millinery (also something I'm obsessed with!).

I have just opened a second shop, The Historical Bride, offering collet necklaces and historical earrings for brides, bridal parties, and other special occasions.

Dames a la Mode is a space for historically accurate reproduction jewelry, while The Historical Bride is allows me to play with jewelry design that is inspired by history.  I hope you'll visit both and see what I have to offer!

In the meantime, here's some images of collet necklaces that I have created for sale in my Etsy shop.
