About

Hello! My name is Victoria Klein and I make jewelry with vintage and hard-to-find beads and charms. I also sell vintage jewelry. Many of my designs are colorful with floral motifs and a hint of retro style. Some of my favorite beads to work with are vintage Czech pressed glass and floral lampwork beads and vintage Japanese millefiori beads. I work out of my small home studio in Saint Louis, MO.

I love discovering “new old stock” beads that never found their way out of warehouses, packaged in their original papers from decades ago. I also enjoy rescuing beads from broken vintage necklaces and bracelets and upcycling them into something new. Sometimes I come across vintage pieces in great condition and so I have a growing collection of vintage jewelry for sale.

This website is a new venture for me. I also sell on Etsy and EBay. Feel free to check out my customer reviews or make a purchase on those sites. 

I make my handmade jewelry with durable materials for long-lasting wear. I double-check every piece before packaging to make sure everything is perfect. When I get a vintage piece, I carefully inspect it with a jeweler’s loupe for any wear so that I can accurately describe it. 

Since many of my materials are handcrafted, my jewelry might have slight variations in color and size that will not detract from the overall look. Vintage pieces may have slight wear due to age. This is part of the charm of a previously loved item.

When I’m not making jewelry, I enjoy listening to history podcasts, learning about beads, and taking long walks in the woods.
