Always our favorite + forever a crowd favorite ✨ These two Victorian engagement bracelets were crafted with Etruscan design in mind. The Etruscan civilization dates back to the 3rd and 2nd centuries—design always comes full circle, right?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #glenandeffie #modernheirlooms #nashvilledesigner #Victorian #artdeco #vintage #oneofakind #nashville #modern #vintagemodern #gold #jewelryaddicted #addictedtojewelry #antiquejewelry #antiquejewelryaddiction #jewelrybox #nashvillejewelry #victorianjewelry #1800s
August is already here—can you believe July is behind us? It’s been a hot and humid southern summer, but last month definitely flew by in no time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For us, that means July’s #slowsundaystories have been archived online. Here’s to a new month with more inspiration and bits of beauty. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #slowsunday #slowsundaystories #glenandeffie #modernheirlooms #inspiration #bitsofbeauty #sundaystories #sundaystory
Your stories are my favorite: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Earlier this spring Debbie and Kelsey came to me with a box of heirlooms and an idea: they not only wanted to reimagine their late mother and grandmother’s jewelry, but hoped to honor her legacy by designing a unique piece for each woman in the family. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ After sorting and going through the late matriarch’s estate, a broken strand of pearls—too small to be restrung and worn—brought back the most memories. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ With only a fragment to work with and multiple women in mind, we decided to completely deconstruct and divide the pearls. Collaborating on each piece to suit the personality of the recipient, the pearls were thoughtfully used as accents in a new, modern design: for a new mom a short, simple necklace with a few pearls to fit her evolving lifestyle with a baby, earrings for the younger women coming of age to wear to formal events, statement necklaces with art deco pieces from the 1920s for the women who love to accessorize, and several more. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ During my time with Kelsey and Debbie, I learned about a woman that treasured her family, loved life, and welcomed everyone open arms. Playing a small role in memorializing the life and love of “Mema” for the women she loved so dearly, is something I will always treasure and remember myself. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Your stories are my favorite. And I’m forever humbled that you choose tor share and entrust me with them—thank you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ xx, Brooke ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Read more of the story and check out the other finished heirlooms on the blog.

For the last month, when I haven't been designing in the studio, I've been working and answering your emails in the gorgeous rooms of @thecoterie_1220—a beautiful, curated space recently renovated and designed by Colleen Locke of @alabastercollective. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ During the day, the stunning rooms function as a modern day women’s social club and collaborative work space (and let me tell you, there isn't a single detail that hasn't been thought of or taken into consideration). Colleen’s eye for design is the perfect blend of vintage and modern—but her heart for stewardship and community, in all forms, breathes even more life and light to this old house made new.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I couldn’t image a more perfect fit for Glen & Effie as I work, collaborate, meet clients, and continue to grow this little business.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you’ve been thinking about commissioning your own modern heirloom or even if you’re just interested in talking about what that process looks like, feel free to reach out at any time—I’d love nothing more than to have you in, talk, and get to know you and your story over coffee.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ xx,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Brooke⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You can see + read more about the space on our blog!

⚡️⚡️Summer Pearl FLASH SALE⚡️⚡️We’ve marked down a few of our favorite summer pearls to make room for new accessories coming down the pike this fall: Snag a few of the remaining Vera, Ada, and Casablanca Pearls (and a few others) starting at $25 😉 They’ll be marked down for today and tomorrow only—link in bio to shop!
Tomorrow and Sunday we’ll be at the @royal_circus for a summer pop-up! New pieces from our July collection will be with us, plus a few other unlisted accessories and surprises... come out and say hi!
It’s all in the details for us... even down to the rhinestones! Five years ago we stumbled across a lady selling parts, pieces, and packages out of a man’s estate that owned a jewelry shop in the 1920s. Some of the treasures we snagged that day are these completely unused crystal rhinestones from the same era. The highest quality of dress pins, fur and shoe clips, as well as other rhinestone accessories were usually molded and crafted in Czechoslovakia in the 1920s, which is where these little packages were produced. So now you know: even when pieces come to us with a missing rhinestone here or there, we take the upmost care to restore every detail with the same attention and integrity as the original craftsman—even down to the rhinestones. . . . . . . . . . . #glenandeffie #vintage #vintagejewelry #jewelry #oneofakind #nashville #modern #vintagemodern #gold #nashville #nashvillesmallbusiness #victorian #victorianjewelry #jewelryaddicted #addictedtojewelry #jewelryaddict #antique #antiquejewelry #antiquejewelryaddiction #jewelryaddict #jewelrybox #gatsby #1920s #artdeco
