Vintage Reproduction Findings

 

For the moment, these new findings are available only in very small quantities.  We want to see if you like them.   What you see is all that is currently available.  Everything but the butterfly pictured below is either an antique silver or a pewter finish.  Antique gold, brass and copper finishes are available on a special order basis only.  Quantity discounts available on special order items.

The top line of pictures shows relative size.  The second row shows detail.  The findings are of exceptionally good quality, heavy in your hand with an authentic look and feel to them unlike any other findings we have seen.  We have made up two necklace sets using these findings, one in antique silver and one in antique gold finish.
