About Circa 1890

For the moments that are close to your heart... With an ardent appreciation for 19th century detail, I began designing vintage style jewelry in 1991, using inspiration from the turn of the century. While the designs are not exact reproductions of original pieces, many of the designs follow closely to that of the period. I enjoy a fresh approach to creating a collection that captures both the luxury of the era and the fashion influences of today. The collection ranges from traditional to modern-vintage, always incorporating a touch of yesteryear. Using traditional methods that were used for costume jewelry making during the late 1800’s to the early 1900’s, each design in the Circa 1890 collection is hand soldered using USA-made, die struck brass components. The brass components are largely designs from the era that have been in production for over 100 years, and still being produced today. Many of the pieces require precise multiple layer soldering and manipulation of the metal to fit the design. All the jewelry is handcrafted, in house, and guaranteed for quality and durability. Each piece of jewelry is finished in antique gold and coated with a protective jeweler’s lacquer for long wear. Circa 1890 jewelry is rich in historical meaning and symbolism. You are sure to find a story in each of our designs. With a passion for all things beautiful and meaningful... from our hands to yours, Circa 1890 Jewelry.Read their story
