Joie De Fond Designs features unique handcrafted jewelry made with genuine stones, pearls, vintage beads, vintage watches, vintage typewriter keys and quality glass beads. My inspiration comes from many influences including the stones I’m working with, the music I’m listening to and the dreams that may linger from the night before. If I’m working on a commission piece I hold the person I’m creating it for in my thoughts.

One of my most popular lines is the re-created vintage silverware jewelry and the antique mechanical watch creations from the mid 1800’s through the early 40’s and 50’s. I love the beautiful designs and all the handwork that went into these special treasures from the past. These pieces are created using vintage pocket watch movements and are enhanced with colored stones and other ornamentation. Some are embellished with clock gears. Each one is a small object of art.

Each piece I create is a one-of-a-kind. When you order your jewelry item, it will be similar to, but not an exact copy of the
one on this website.

Please note that the components in these pieces are vintage—not perfect and they don't always have a new appearance to their finishes, but this is part of the charm that characterizes them as vintage
