Etsy weekend shopping…. I found an interesting interview with jewelry designing sisters, Courtney Spivak and Christina Spivak, whose shop White Owl carries lovely jewelry made from vintage items like reclaimed crochet pieces, lace, or metals.
The sisters are creative by influence and choice – their interview says that they are “from a family of artists…” Courtney Spivak teaches communications at the college level, makes short independent films, and is also a musician. Christina Spivak is a stylist and commercial photographer. She’s worked in both independent and Hollywood film. The sisters began by selling their pieces in craft fairs and now their work is available at Etsy.
Here are a few pieces from thier White Owl Shop.
These earrings featured hand-dyed, reclaimed vintage lace. The Blossom Lace Earrings would be a lovely Victorian accent for day. If you are looking for something a bit more dramatic, perhaps for an evening out, then take a look at the Xandra Lace Earrings.
Bolder still is the Ludivine Tulle Statement Necklace. It’s made with a reclaimed chain, a “burst of chocolate tulle”, and it’s accented with gleaming studs of pewter, silver, copper, and black metal.
