Bringing new life to forgotten findings.
We are a queer mother/daughter duo who adore wearing beautiful and unique jewelry! Unfortunately, beautiful jewelry is not always affordable, and often doesn’t appeal to our sense of ecological consciousness. As creative humans, we decided that we wanted to find a solution. What follows was the birth of our company; Forgotten Frippery. We combine a boho/spiritual/seaside aesthetic with found, up-cycled, re-used and beautifully curated findings, and finish our pieces with quality metals. It’s important to us to be able to offer an inclusive collection of beautiful baubles, therefore- many of our pieces can be customized to your beautiful self. Please let us know if there is something that you would like to have customized so that it fits you exactly the way you would hope.
We hope as you look through our ever-growing collection, you will find some thing that appeals to your playful and beautiful self.
Welcome to Forgotten Frippery!
We use found, reclaimed, and forgotten treasures to make amazing, one-of-a-kind wearable art that we like to call Frippery!
We source vintage and reclaimed jewelry from estate sales, flea markets and thrift shops, giving them new life by re-imagining them with our hand-crafted findings!
We find inspiration in nature. The ocean provides a rich pallet of textures, where we collect sea glass, shells, stones and driftwood. We use these found items, as well as natural gemstones, crystals and glass to bring to YOU a one-of-a-kind wearable art piece. We use only sterling silver wire , to hand-fashion each head pin and earring-wire, by hand; always with an eye for detail.
In our unique FINE SILVER collection, you will notice treasures made of hand-crafted fine silver! We use 99.9% silver and not a more common 92.5% silver that you will typically find in the market place. This is pure silver that is strong and durable. We use this 99.9% silver for all of our fine silver pendants and charms in order to provide you with the opportunity to own an art piece of the highest quality silver possible.
Take a look at our collections and customize your piece today! We firmly believe that everyone needs some Forgotten Frippery in their life.
