THE most special and striking antique Maireener shell necklace I have ever seen!

The necklace features large king Maireener shells with a gorgeous green base colour, shimmering blue-green AB rainbow lustre and delicate pink tips. At approximately 1.3 cm in length, the shells are substantial in size. The necklace is finished with an extra-large, beautifully shimmering green seashell pendant, making this a striking and rare piece.

Maireener shell necklaces hold deep cultural and historical significance. For hundreds of years, Tasmanian Aboriginal women have painstakingly collected, cleaned and hand-drilled these tiny shells to create necklaces of extraordinary beauty and craftsmanship. Antique Maireener necklaces are treasured for both their artistry and their connection to Tasmanian Aboriginal history.

This is a beautiful super statement, one of a kind chunky gold tone chain and vintage charm necklace that I have made.

I made this necklace with a selection of different vintage charms, combining them with chunky, vintage chain and a statement clasp.

The star of the show is a solid brass alligator or crocodile charm with Maria Felix vibes! He is accompanied by a gem set, lucky four leaf clover, a rhinestone set pearl, a lucky cat, a black bulldog with a rhinestone collar, a lucky pixie and an enamel black and white puffin. What an eclectic array of creatures!

Since Victorian times snake jewellery has been highly collectible and I have a number of vintage and antique snake jewels in my own collection - and so I am excited to offer these two antique Andreas Daub snake bracelets in my Etsy shop.

Circa 1920s, these two snake bracelets are signed Andreas Daub and rolled gold. One has deep pink paste stones and the other has pale blue paste. The snakes are built around a coiled steel band and rolled in a high-carat yellow gold with ornate, geometric patterning across every panel.

It’s a wonderful design that expands to fit the wrist comfortably and stamped with the maker’s mark of designer Andreas Daub on the back.

This is a highly collectible antique snake bangle and is in good condition with some gentle signs of age and use.

Available in my Etsy shop alongside other hand selected snake gems.

Hello mermaid dream necklace!

I love this shimmering, one of a kind necklace! Made from genuine freshwater seed pearls and an antique shell pendant necklace, it is a stunning statement piece.

I have used part of a beautiful pastel coloured, antique trochus shell belt buckle and made it into a one of a kind pendant. When I bought it, it was looking for a new purpose in life! I added a dangling beaded fringe to the buckle with complementary coloured beads and strung it from a vintage seed pearl necklace. I have also re-strung the seed pearl necklace, finishing it with its original clasp, and so both the buckle and the necklace are having a new lease of life!

The buckle has absolutely beautiful shimmering colours of pastel pinks, blues, faux pearls and of course the natural iridescence of the trochus shells themselves.

It is finished with a signature Shh by Sadie tag.

Necklace length approx 45cm. Pendant approx 8 × 4cm.

This necklace is a one of a kind, combination of antique and new elements and so you will never see any one else wearing the same necklace! 

I enjoy repairing and re-designing broken or unwanted vintage jewellery so that it can be worn and loved once again.

Here’s a lovely chunky vintage sterling silver curb bracelet with a collection of vintage and antique coin charms.

I originally bought this bracelet for myself because I love chunky charm bracelets but the chain is too big for my wrist and it is a shame to alter its original condition, so I’m letting it go to a new home. It is one of a kind and has 13 antique and vintage coins including:

1891 Queen Victoria threepence

1934 King George V three pence
