My name is Violette Noble and I am an artist who loves to search far and wide for bits and baubles whose origins may not be fully known but are always antique, rare, eclectic or just plain odd.
I use these fantastic finds in all my jewelry designs and each piece is created by me and is entirely unique.
For your approval today an absolutely FABULOUS necklace and earrings set made from all manner of enticing antique treasures. The addition of the beads and tiny brass crosses almost give this lovely piece a "rosary" feeling.
This luscious set began with a STUNNING Victorian piece of jewelry that features a gorgeous plum colored stone, lovely antique brass and tiny crystal rhinestones. I used the original purple glass beads and added them and the pendant, to some some delicate chain that is almost 100 years old. The glass bead bauble and burnished brass cross add the final breathtaking touch. The pendant itself measures 4" long and the chain measures 28" long but I am always willing to adjust the length at your request.
The earrings began with pieces from a charming damaged antique bracelet. I added the matching brass crosses and some high quality hand forged ear wires. These measure 2" with the ear wire adding about another 1" or so.
Each and every piece in my jewelry line has been meticulously designed and created in such a way as to last for years to come.
All finery will arrive in a handsome be-ribboned gift box making it the perfect remembrance for friends and loved ones alike.

Up for your approval today an WILDLY AMUSING steampunk ring that began life as a "mechanical" brass beetle. He has been fitted with wheels and a tiny screw from an antique pocket watch AND antiqued brass wings so he can FLY!
He's been securely mounted to an ornate antiqued ring base and I think he's loads of FUN! His wing span is 1 1/2" and he is about 1" tall. I positioned the end of the wings in an "up" position to make it more comfortable to wear.
The filigree is very easily adjusted for your finger size.
The brass findings I use are still being produced using the same...now antique...machines they used so many years ago and the enterprise is still owned by the family that originated it. I oxidize them by hand and polish them so that just a little of the original brass shows through. This gives them that PERFECT vintage patina.

He was just a lowly sailor but he loved everything about it. The salty sea air, the mighty, unpredictable ocean blue and even the back breaking hard work. As he stood on the bow of his ship he wished he could stay here forever but they had just pulled into the dock at Steamworks Port and all the men were expected to go ashore.
Just as he turned to go he saw her. She was exquisite….her voluptuous body glistened with the salty sea and her lovely long hair bobbed gently on the surface of the water. Her iridescent scales displayed a play of lustrous colors like those of the rainbow and were blindingly ablaze in the summer sun. Just for a moment their eyes met but then she was gone, just as quickly as she had appeared, the last tip of her shimmering tail disappearing into the sea. She was glorious, captivating, bewitching but sadly unattainable. Yet, he had not a doubt that she would be in this lowly sailor’s dreams tonight.
