Vintage~Inspired Jewelry Creations
My collection of distinctive, handcrafted jewelry is inspired by vintage style.
Creative Concepts: * New, original designs
Boutique jewelry is reminiscent of old films; the moody aura of black and white and the richness of original Technicolor. Hollywood classics endure, like The Thin Man Series, Heaven Can Wait, Imitation of Life, Rear Window, and All About Eve-just to name a few. If you are too young to know these titles, I encourage you to seek them out; these females personify womanhood. Necklaces have been named for iconic actresses; Lauren, Ava, Bette, Grace, Sophia, Myrna, etc. I admire the glamour and class these women displayed, on and off screen. Other names are from film characters, or just old-fashioned favorites. This is the largest collection: Pale, Neutrals, Naturals, Glamour, Themed, and Muted.
*Designer Inspired jewelry showcases my artistic flair and comes with a pencil sketch of the creation. These very special designs are named for iconic haute couture designers. I love their vision!
*Artwear features a collage of shapes and styles. Named for classic 19th century artists, my pieces display a tapestry of color and unusual pendants. I adore art, so I pay homage.
*"Y" Inspired necklaces entice the eye with a lingering dangle at the decolletage. This collection offers a plethora of colors and sophisticated style. These beauties are named for treasures or memories.
Delicates jewelry is simply femminine. Dainty pieces express subtle femininity, and are named for old-fashioned cocktails. Old movies often show a formal party where sophisticated socialites sip cocktails with contemporaneous names. The clothes, the jewels, the hairstyles; a feast for my eyes...now all considered vintage. A nostalgic cheers to the class of timeless beauty.

A bit about me...
I live in a suburb outside of Fort Worth, Texas with my teenage son and our 2 cats, Gracious & Elvis. I dabbled in jewelry-making back in my early twenties, but soon moved on. I was re-aquainted thanks to my best friend, who relocated back here in 2006. Now, making jewelry is a passion. The 'array' of possibilities tantalizes my imagination. My cup runneth over with creativity, so a business is born! Feel free to contact me with a special order; I love a design challenge! Thank you for visiting, and you are welcome back any time. ~A
If there is ever a problem concerning craftsmanship, I will make it right. Handcrafted jewelry demands care; many beads are glass and some semi-precious stones are softer than others. Take care of your jewels and they will become treasures your grandchildren will fight over!

P.S. My son lives with a high-functioning form of autism labeled Asperger Syndrome. I have a blog on autismspot.com (annaNaspie) you are also invited to visit. If you are the mother of a special needs child, bless you and your mission!
Imagination and Unique materials create one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces.
I use various beads, including many semi-precious stones, fire polished beads, Czech glass, vintage German glass, faceted glass, AB crystals, Swarovski crystals, Sterling silver, Indian silver, Hill Tribe silver, lampwork, clay, pewter, and gold plate. I am sure I left out something!
I would describe some designs as ethereal, indulgent in luminous touches. Other pieces reveal delicate glamour. Some evoke bohemian elegance. I believe all jewelry pieces to be spirited and timeless, like the women, designers, artists and romantic illusions that inspire me.Free shipping in the Continental U.S. Contact me at 817.428.8727 or annas_arrays@yahoo.com (annas<underscore>arrays@yahoo.com)
