We’re packing up and getting ready for our pop-up with @wovengoodscompany and @patinaandco TOMORROW from 9-6:30 and Saturday from 10-2! Unlisted rings, bracelets and other gems will be with us — AND the ladies are having a killer rug sale this weekend too. Be sure to swing out and see us!
All of our rings are one-of-a-kind—even these gold gilt, hand embossed buttons from the 1800s all have a different pattern and design. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We’ll have unlisted beauties like these and other gems in tow with us this weekend with @patinaandco and @wovengoodscompany ! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Drop in Friday from 11-4 or Saturday from 10-2!
We see and find a lot of medals—but this one is especially unique: the scene depicts a female artist depicting the male figure—a situation where roles have been traditionally reversed throughout history: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Only a small sample of women found their way into the tales of the greatest artists. Even then, they were often described as unusually talented women who overcame the limitations of their gender in order to excel in what was believed to be a masculine field. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For centuries, women were systematically excluded from the records of art history. This was due to a number of factors: art forms like textiles and what we call the “decorative arts” were often dismissed as craft and not “fine art”; many women were kept from pursuing a general education, let alone arts training; and finally the men who dominated the discipline both in practice and history often believed women to be inferior artists. As artist and instructor Hans Hoffmann once said in a “compliment” to the influential abstract expressionist painter Lee Krasner in the mid-20th century: “This is so good you wouldn’t know it was done by a woman.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💎: Artist’s Medallion Necklace is compromised of a medal originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina and hangs from a Victorian watch fob clasp from the 1800s on a modern 20” 14k gold filled chain. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🕵🏻‍♀️ sourced: My Modern Met & Art Class Curator ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #glenandeffie #modernheirlooms #nashvilledesigner #Victorian #artdeco #vintage #oneofakind #nashville #modern #vintagemodern #gold #jewelryaddicted #addictedtojewelry #antiquejewelry #antiquejewelryaddiction #jewelrybox #nashvillejewelry #victorianjewelry #1800s #femaleartist #arthistory
Simple, delicate, with a touch of color — the Alice Pendant is a favorite for everyday that’s easy to layer with your favorite staples ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💎: Victorian dress pin from the late 1800s with hand engraved designs and a turquoise stone detail. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #glenandeffie #modernheirlooms #nashvilledesigner #Victorian #artdeco #vintage #oneofakind #nashville #modern #vintagemodern #gold #jewelryaddicted #addictedtojewelry #antiquejewelry #antiquejewelryaddiction #jewelrybox #nashvillejewelry #victorianjewelry #1800s
A couple months ago, @hermitagehotel asked us to craft some one-of-a-kind pieces after the history, architecture and design of the hotel and era it was built. These are just a small look at the jewelry we sourced and crafted for them—but swipe to see a favorite 👉🏻: you might find a similar architectural piece of a lion downstairs in their Oak Bar... 🕵🏻‍♀️ . All of the pieces designed specifically for @hermitagehotel can be found in their gift shop—swing by and ask about the stories behind each piece and explore the hotel to find the original inspiration! . . . . . . #glenandeffie #modernheirlooms #nashvilledesigner #1920sjewelry #artdeco #vintage #oneofakind #nashville #modern #vintagemodern #gold #jewelryaddicted #addictedtojewelry #antiquejewelry #antiquejewelryaddiction #jewelrybox #nashvillejewelry #gatsby #gatsbyjewelry #hermitage #hermitagehotel
This Bohemian Garnet Beauty has just been added online! This element is so unique--we're honestly not sure what it's original function or purpose was (we think a possible watch fob piece, but we're not 100% certain).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We do know by the style, age, and stones that this piece was definitely from the late 1800s. Any guesses as to what it could have been originally?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💎: Maureen Garnet Necklace⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #glenandeffie #modernheirlooms #nashvilledesigner #Victorian #artdeco #vintage #oneofakind #nashville #modern #vintagemodern #gold #jewelryaddicted #addictedtojewelry #antiquejewelry #antiquejewelryaddiction #jewelrybox #nashvillejewelry #victorianjewelry #1800s

"I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape. The loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it. The whole story doesn't show." — Andrew Wyeth⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's October, which means the seasons are on the cusp on changing--bringing about a period of waiting--waiting for the blooms of spring once again.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Septebmer's #slowsundaystories have been archived online.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ pic: sourced from @pinterest ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #slowsunday #slowsundaystories #glenandeffie #modernheirlooms #inspiration #bitsofbeauty
