Fall Giveaway Week: Win $40 of Custom, Handmade Jewelry from Nouveau Vintage Designs

green earrings on book

These pretty gems are handmade by a dear friend of mine.

Jessica and I go back to our early years of university, where we were roommates. Then later, Maid (or Matron) of Honor when we each got married. We’ve long since traded in late nights up studying or out for a night of swing dancing for late nights up with the nursing baby or the sick toddler.

A couple of years ago, Jessica started creating pretty things during naptime, mostly as a hobby that helped her maintain her sanity as a mom of three energetic boys.

She drew from her love of all things vintage, added some pieces with a more modern and contemporary flair, and came up with Nouveau Vintage Designs. Her cottage-business blossomed, as the adorned ears of many women in our church and local community can attest to.

Now Jessica is opening up her business to everyone else, so that moms like us (with a small budget but good taste) can wear a bit of affordable elegance.

Both her Nouveau Vintage and Modern Maven lines feature plenty of Austrian crystals, glass pearls, and delicate metal accents, all on surgical stainless steel, antique brass or 22 k gold-plated hooks (and sterling silver is available upon request).

More recently, she’s begun to play with naturally-inspired pieces using wooden beads, shells, and colored stones.

Love these shiny shells with the brilliant blue!

purple earrings on wood

Just a slightly darker purple than one of my own pairs of Nouveau Vintage earrings. And yes, I have many of them. I even have one named after me that we designed together. 🙂

What I love most about them is that they are just fancy enough to wear to a wedding or out on a date, but still casual enough (even some of the ones with pearls and crystals) for everyday wear with jeans and a cardigan. I wear them at least once a week, usually more.

Each and every piece is custom-designed and handmade by Jessica herself. You can purchase ready-made earrings, as well as a few pendants (her newest endeavor), or look through the Concept Gallery and discuss a custom order with her.

Most earrings are priced between $12-$18, and there are a few pendants for $20. Right now shipping is free for anyone (US, Canada, or international) through the month of September.

This is a perfect to think about Christmas gifts! These custom earrings make beautiful gifts for friends, sisters, mother or grandmothers, babysitters, teachers or any other woman in your life.

  2. The “Veronica” earrings are the ones that I like best. I have them in mind as a Christmas present for my mom, whose favorite color is dark purple. She would look beautiful with them on! The brass accents add a creative touch.

  16. How can I EVER say which ones are my favorite? I am in love with Lucy, Christina, Grace, FLORA, and the entire Au Natural collection. I own quite a few of these sets already and <3 every single pair. For the first time I can wear earrings without them being irritated. Thank you Jess for adorning my ears!

  25. They are all beautiful! But I like the Adele style, because they are different from what my usual style is, but I think they are beautiful!

  26. Oh, my goodness, hard to choose. They are all gorgeous. One of my favs is the Kay design. I think, just because of the simplicity of it…& I have never owned a “pearl look”.

  44. As a stay at home mom most of my daily activities aren’t conducive to wearing nice clothes. I still want to feel pretty though and I find some simple jewelry usually helps. Her earrings are definelty just what I need!

    1. Nadine, that is exactly why I started making them (originally as gifts for friends). We are all stay at home moms in jeans (or pajamas!) all day and I wanted something fun and small to make us feel pretty even while wiping yet another runny nose!

  54. I like the Phoebe earrings. The were under the Au Natural category and I like them because I think they would complement much of my fall wardrobe. I really liked the Clara earrings too because I love pearls and french hook earrings. Lots of great variations to choose from at this site!

  78. How do you pick favorites??! Robyn, Veronica, Lela, Yvonne, anything with the white pearls! Although, I hadn’t realized how much Motherhood is dictating my sense of style until now – every single one I like is short and easy to keep away from small fingers!

  88. Oh, hard decision!!! I think I like either the Nora earrings because they are sweet and sunshiny, or the Stephanie with their classy elegance.

  102. I love the Lela earrings but they have been sold! 🙁 My next choice that hasn’t been sold! LOL) would be the Nicole earrings

  105. The Julia was my favorite, but seems as if it has been sold! ;o(( Wondering if it’s possible to have a custom order just like it? Your products are beautiful – and very affordable!

    Reply

    1. I totally do custom orders. I can often find the same beads, but in case I can’t, I usually make up a few as similar as I can and then email you a photo to choose which one(s) you like best. If you are interested, give me a shout at nouveauvintagedesigns@gmail.com. Would love to help you out 🙂

  118. I like Lucy (like square shapes in transp. turquoise colors) and Audrey (reminds me of a pair of earrings I think I sjould have LOL), Nicola (very sleek, good for my square jaw line); Nora just looks lovely and free flowing and the stones look very unique to me; Ivy (squares & quadritlaterals are cool)! I like Emma and Amelia too for the abalone and movement ; and the Bella earwire is very nice, maybe with a different bauble. So very tempting!
