Welcome to Elegant Artifacts!

Elegant Artifacts is my shop on Etsy www.ElegantArtifacts.etsy.com where I sell designer and vintage jewelry, Fortuny and vintage pillows, original art and vintage finds. My original jewelry and pillow designs are one of a kind, handmade in the USA. Whether priced at $20 or thousands of dollars, the quality is always the finest. A portion of profits is donated ot STOLA Saluki Hound Rescue. 

I will be blogging about design, design trends, jewelry and vintage finds, so welcome to Elegant Artifacts as I move move forward to launch this blog.

I have been a professional interior designer and color consultant for twenty-five years and a jewelry designer for about fifteen years. I love beautiful things and look forward to sharing my special finds and favorite objects with Etsy shoppers - and I'm always open to offers whenever possible so don't be shy. I design and make jewelry by combining gemstones and natural gemstone beads with vintage or antique artifacts to create one of a kind designs. I also love to design using Fortuny fabric and exceptional vintage or antique fabrics made up into designer pillows. When I shop for my interior design clients I am always looking for unusual vintage or antique items so I am now offering a Vintage Finds section in my shop.

I literally grew up in the antiques business, as a child playing in the antiques shop my grandfather ran in London. He had a guard rooster who would fly at anyone he didn't like the look of. Quite eccentric I suppose but he was a great rooster. I purchased my first antique at the age of five, a small ring that I still treasure. I still love antique and vintage items and sell them at my Etsy shop and through ForgottenLuxury.com.

I also have a great love of dogs and donate a portion of sales to STOLA - Saluki Tree of LIfe Alliance, the national nonprofit rescue organization for Saluki hounds, the world's first domesticated dogs www.stola.org.
