Published by Cathy at 9:43 am under Jewelry

In the spirit of recycling and reinvention, Vintage Rehab by Stacey Samuels specializes in the renovation and creation of heirloom vintage lockets.  Shown above is:

…a beautiful vintage cloisonne locket with a garden scene on milk white background. It hangs on a vintage, double stranded, brass chain, woven with brown leather that attaches a vintage bead and old charm.

Stacey gives wonderful descriptions of the artwork on her lockets.

The yellow roses symbolize joy, gladness, and friendship. The butterfly’s metamorphosis from a caterpillar and emergence from it’s chrysalis symbolize rebirth and resurrection. To the Chinese and Japanese the butterfly is a sign of both immortality and joy. In Chinese art, butterflies combined with plum blossoms symbolize long life.

    Thanks for the post. Vintage Rehab is one of my new favorite stores! I especially love that all of the pieces are one-of-a-kind. This is the perfect gift for my sister just who just had a baby. I am going to get her a vintage locket necklace and put a picture of her little girl inside.
