The Lost Time Collection is one of the most intriguing of all my collections as each piece is one of a kind and created with a vintage found object. Everything from pocket watch keys to unusual vintage jewelry revisited is used to create these unique pieces. I scour the French Flea markets twice a year in the hopes of finding these treasures lost to time and sometimes tucked away in attics for a 100 years to recreate a piece of wearable history. Feel free to contact me if there is a piece that catches your eye or if you would like to request a special piece as I may have the item you are searching for in my collection of antique trinkets and baubles.
