Function and Form

Jewelry – most of us have at least a few treasured pieces of jewelry in our homes. Most of mine is costume and until a couple of years ago, was haphazardly thrown into a box or a tea cup. It was not until a box of metal glove molds came into our store that I incorporated jewelry into the decorating of my home. (More specifically my bedroom)

I loved these metal glove molds so much –I had to have one. They are antique yet modern, industrial and very chic.

I decided to put mine on my nightstand but it didn’t have a purpose and stuck out like a sore thumb waving at me. Then one night after removing my necklace- instead of throwing it into the tea cup – I draped it through the fingers of the mold. Voila! Function and Form. Fabulouso!

Since then I added an Antique framed cork board with old fashioned sewing pins into my dressing space so that my necklaces are easily accessible and displayed like little works of art.

Here are some examples of accessories from the shop...
