Shelley Johnston is an Asheville North Carolina based jewelry designer specializing in vintage costume jewelry. Her inspiration came from touring the Biltmore Estate and day dreaming of the "days gone by" of drinking sweet iced tea on verandas and ballrooms filled with the era's most beautiful fashions and jewelry. Her boundless passion for the jewelry is reflected in her one of a kind designs - sometimes made from fragments found in the dust of old jewelry boxes. Shelley retails her jewelry at festivals and events throughout the Asheville area as well as local art emporiums. She warmly invites you to visit her at one of these local celebrations and share your family jewelry stories and sentimental items.
The poem and its
wedding traditions unite women through the generations just as vintage
rhinestone jewelry unites the elegant women of bygone eras with the
present. Rhinestone jewelry from the 1950's was worn by the most
glamorous women of the day including Ava Gardner, Grace Kelly, Elizabeth
Taylor and Lucille Ball. Wear jewelry on your wedding day that is
unique, exuberant and affordable - pieces in which the rhinestones were
so beautifully set, they could be imposters for diamonds.
