More Etsy Love: Jamie Noel Jewelry Contest!

Lately the jewelry on Etsy has been dominated by that quaint woodland creatures and twigs aesthetic of the moment. Have you noticed? I do love its frolicky ways, but what I’d really love to see is a breath of feather and fur-free fresh air. Yawn.

Enter JamieNoel Jewelry. Stacey’s “interactive” jewelry featuring 1930’s carnival, circus and boardwalk aesthetics are waaaaay more titillating than titmice and chickadees. One pendant features a rocket that launches past a grinning moon, another boasts a be-bobbed bathing beauty who emerges from a boldly-striped changing cabana in her costume, there’s a fortune-teller which actually tells fortunes (allegedly), a puppet show with moving puppets, puzzles, games and circus animals. They are exquisitely-made and you will never be bored in your dentist’s waiting room again.

Eve is now the proud owner of this Amazing Zoltar Necklace which has a drawer of wish-granting cards just like the one on Big.

And I’m obsessed with my silver Acrobat Headband (my precious…). It’s an outfit-maker if I ever saw one!

So now Stacey of JamieNoel wants to award the Hippest of the Hip (meaning YOU) the chance to win one of her tantalizing Vintage Elevator Necklaces worth $90!

“First Floor Ladies Shoes, Second Floor Cosmetics!”

Remember back when ladies dressed ‘to the nines’ for a trip to the department store and elevators had operators? That was the inspiration for this Vintage Department Store Elevator Necklace with an elevator that really goes up and down.
Simply pull up on the decorative silver filigree knob and the elevator glides up to the top floor, revealing the vintage shoe department scene underneath. The adorable elevator operator is actually the Phillip Morris Bell Boy from old radio show commercials.
The back of this necklace features a vintage photo of Macy’s in New York.
Made from sterling silver solder and hand cut glass.”

To enter, just leave a comment on this post regarding the awesomosity of JamieNoel’s carnivalicious handiwork and we’ll randomly select a winner next week (8/20). Make sure you enter your email address (remains hidden from public) so we can contact you (but not spam you, in case you were wondering).

Good Luck!

  1. :-) Just an FYI that I still haven’t received the necklace.

    1. Hailey on November 10th, 2008 at 7:27 pm

  2. Congrats Stacey on your well-deserved etsy success! I’m looking forward to seeing what you’ll come up with next:)

    2. Sarah E. on August 24th, 2008 at 8:38 pm

  3. Perfect combination of classy kitsch and fashion technology, with a little bit of homemade love. I definitely want to play!

    4. Diane on August 19th, 2008 at 8:07 pm

  4. Oooh man they are all so nice. SO NICE. I wants to win. :P

    5. catherine on August 19th, 2008 at 12:19 pm

  5. I love vintage jewlery, but I’ve never seen anything quite like JamieNoel’s pieces. How adorable!!!

    6. Jenni Saake - Infert on August 19th, 2008 at 11:30 am

  6. Stacey’s pieces combine some of my absolute favourite things: vintage, elements of quirkiness and covert gadgetry. I can also admire her work instead of running off and joining the circus as I’d planned to (something tells me being able to…er ‘visualize’ acrobatics as opposed to performing them is not considered a circus worthy skill).

    7. Taye on August 19th, 2008 at 8:19 am

  7. Super cute necklace!!! I love all her jewelry! I hope I win!! ;) ps. I love this site too!

    8. Jenneane on August 18th, 2008 at 3:58 pm

  8. LOVE the circus-changing blocks necklace!
    *crossing fingers*

    9. Leah on August 18th, 2008 at 2:00 pm

  9. Those necklaces are super-cute! I love the originality of the jewelry. It’s completely individual, which makes it worth so much more!

    10. Sheena on August 18th, 2008 at 10:12 am

  10. I love pieces that tell a story, and I can imagine all kinds of scenarios based on the images in this jewelry. Pieces like these are just the thing I need to express myself in a very original way, while being subtle enough to fit in in my office. I’d love to win!

    11. Melody on August 18th, 2008 at 9:56 am

  11. Love, Love this awesome creative jewlery. My step-daughter is also in love with your jewlery. She is trying to make something close. We both would love to win!

    12. ANGIE on August 18th, 2008 at 8:40 am

  12. I love, love, love this jewlery! I is so hard to find cute one of a kind affordable stuff - and this is all of that and more!

    I remember going shopping with my grandmother. She always wore a suit and hose (what we call thigh highs) with garters! My mom still has a pair of “Granny’s” garters. They were nothing special just look like green pony holders! Ha Ha!

    Thanks for the opportunity to remember!

  13. I love the fortune teller jewelry especially since I do psychic readings. But I am hoping this is were I enter for a chance to win a piece of your very cool stuff!

    14. Amanda on August 18th, 2008 at 6:50 am

  14. I look for exotic pieces of jewelry and I must say this site is the best! I have very long hair so I fell in love with the Acrobat Headband. That would definately be the first piece I would have to have. The second would be the elevator necklace. This is so unique and fun I just fell in love with it. I really liked all the pieces to be honest and would love one of each~! What a great site you have introduced me to thank you very much.

    15. Rhonda Martin on August 17th, 2008 at 8:04 pm

  15. These are such cute, unique pieces!

    16. Emilie on August 17th, 2008 at 7:38 pm

  16. Oh my stars…these would be awesome even without the interactive bit. That just pushes them over the edge into little boxes of delightful oddities. Whimsical and artistic and delicate without being overly twee. I love them!

    17. Becca on August 17th, 2008 at 12:46 pm

  17. Wow. That jewelry is awesome. I LOVE pieces that are intriguing, and can generate conversations… I would wear the elevator necklace all the time! And talk to fabulous people about how wonderful it is!

    18. Emily on August 17th, 2008 at 7:27 am

  18. These are so beyond adorable.

    19. Jen on August 16th, 2008 at 9:59 pm

  19. Wow, interactive necklaces are so cool! Plus vintage jewelery (or just vintage themed) always adds something nice to an outfit. I also really like the acrobat headband- it’s definitely in the mood of the Olympics!

    20. Annabelle on August 16th, 2008 at 6:26 pm

  20. This is the jewelry I’ve been dreaming of and looking for - as a Coney Island devotee and Extreme Etsy Fan, I would LOVE an elevator necklace. In fact, I would never take it off.

    21. Beth on August 16th, 2008 at 6:10 pm

  21. Perfectly awesome jewelry ~ and I really, really need that elevator! (I was involved in TWO ~ yes, I said, TWO! ~ elevator accidents a few years ago! Maybe this pendant would help me overcome my elevator fears? Who knows, but it’s definitely worth a try! lol)

    22. Kim on August 16th, 2008 at 4:31 pm

  22. GAH! Ridiculously cute - pick me pick me! Well, random generator - randomly pick me! ;)

    23. TifosiGirl on August 16th, 2008 at 3:44 pm

  23. Ooooo oooooo oooooo! I have to order the Moulin Rouge dexterity game necklace. Then I will have something to rotate my elevator necklace with (grin, nudge, wink).

    24. Jennifer on August 16th, 2008 at 10:17 am

  24. How adorable! I can’t believe the detail in these! I remember those elevators and dressing in our best to shop in a store named Freeses in Bangor Maine! It was a very big deal to go shopping in the early 50’s! Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

  25. Oooh, pretty!

    26. maddy on August 16th, 2008 at 8:54 am

  26. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw, this is the nicest piece of jewelry I have seen since http://www.lesucre.canalblog.com
    my shoe budget is gonna shrink again!

    27. Baraginie on August 16th, 2008 at 7:17 am

  27. Jewelry that can tell me my fortune? As a diehard multi-tasker I’m sold!

    28. becky on August 16th, 2008 at 6:23 am

  28. Awesome jewelry, so whimsical with a touch of nostalgia. If I was to compare it to a movie, it has the feel of Mirror Mask. I love these types of creative and one of a kind intricate things. I hope I can win one, the elevator necklace is adorable and I adore the Zoltar necklace. I hope I can get one!

    29. joci cha on August 16th, 2008 at 5:05 am

  29. I’ve never seen anything like these before; and in a world of same-old jewellery, I think they’re absolutely wonderful!

    30. Laura on August 16th, 2008 at 4:01 am

  30. Their jewelry is like nothing else. I love the juxtaposition of the elegance of bygone eras and the reminder of the unappreciated effort that made it all seem so effortless.

    31. Lisa on August 16th, 2008 at 1:17 am

  31. This is such interesting jewelry! I’d love to win–I’m away until the 23rd so if you pick me please give me 3 days to come home and be surprised!

    32. Stephanie G on August 15th, 2008 at 11:23 pm

  32. These pieces are truly amazing! I think I’m in love…art that’s vintage-cool and original, yet still wearable!

    33. Jessica on August 15th, 2008 at 9:18 pm

  33. This necklace would not give me claustrophobia. ;-) It’s awesome. I believe I was born a century too late and I would wear it proudly.

    34. Corrina on August 15th, 2008 at 8:20 pm

  34. I long for a time when people dressed to the nines to do things like go shopping or go to the movies. Hell, I’d settle for a cocktail party every now and then. The necklace might have to do.

    35. Betsy Wallace on August 15th, 2008 at 7:54 pm

  35. wow, this is very different, in a GREAT way! I have never seen anything like it, and this would definitely be a wonderful conversation piece. She is very creative, to come up with these really neat ideas!

    36. Michele Pineda on August 15th, 2008 at 7:25 pm

  36. Wow! I love her work. The attention to detail and creativity is simply breathtaking!

    37. Christina on August 15th, 2008 at 7:21 pm

    50. Renee on August 15th, 2008 at 2:22 pm

  50. Wow, wow, wow! These pieces are so beautiful. This reminds me yet again how awesome Etsy is to allow an artist like Stacey share her amazing work. The puppet show piece is amazing, Punch and Judy necklace - great idea. An a mhaith ar fad!

    51. Caoimhe on August 15th, 2008 at 11:39 am

  51. They are all great! So hard to pick a favorite! Very original, true conversation pieces.

    52. Melissa on August 15th, 2008 at 10:54 am

  52. i can’t remember how, but i’ve stumbled across these beauties before!

    53. fash on August 15th, 2008 at 6:45 am

  53. those are to die for! i am gobsmacked.

    54. stina on August 15th, 2008 at 3:02 am

  54. Pretty, pretty. The zoltar one is especially precious, there was a wooden genie fortune teller on flapjack yesterday evening.

    55. Angelica on August 15th, 2008 at 12:59 am

  55. oh! I love love love the puppet theatre one. Used to be obsessed with french puppet theatre as a kid, but have never before seen a lovely necklace which I could commemorate that with.

    56. Milla on August 14th, 2008 at 10:19 pm

    59. Hannah on August 14th, 2008 at 5:18 pm

  59. Ahh I checked out the rest of her things on etsy and everything is too good. Too good! I might just have to get a Zoltar necklace for myself.

    62. Noël on August 14th, 2008 at 2:31 pm

  62. This jewelry is so beautiful! The vintage elevator necklace reminded me of the best dream I have ever had, which was vintage “themed” and entirely sepia toned. How cool would it be to own this?

    63. Rachael on August 14th, 2008 at 2:00 pm

  63. These are some of the coolest pieces of jewelry I’ve seen! I would love to see more people wearing these great items!

    64. Nina on August 14th, 2008 at 1:57 pm

  64. Brilliant pieces. I’m sure I’m not the first, but I have been obsessed with yesteryear aesthetics for years now, these are gorgeous! I made myself a little necklace out of one of those ‘erotica’ postcard photos and an old lens I found in a set in my grandpa’s garage. It’s such a great conversation piece, these even more so, I’ll bet! I’d love to be entered, maybe when I win the lottery I’ll do a shopping spree;)

    65. Loraine on August 14th, 2008 at 11:48 am

  65. These are awesome! i think I will be ordering one for myself even if i don’t win!

    69. rita on August 14th, 2008 at 6:37 am

  69. These pieces are amazing! I think they’re just cutely kitsch enough to work without seeming overtly tacky.

    70. Wendy on August 14th, 2008 at 12:03 am

  70. They are so original! I would love to add these to my boring, conservative work attire to make the day a bit more fun!

    71. allison on August 13th, 2008 at 10:40 pm

  71. Your pieces are incredibly inventive. I’d love to have one of my very own!!! :)

    72. Sara U on August 13th, 2008 at 10:11 pm

    80. Cherryred on August 13th, 2008 at 3:02 pm

  80. Gorgeous necklace with all your charm
    Tickles you send down my spine
    You remind me of my sweet Gramie
    I think of her all the time

    81. Jeannine on August 13th, 2008 at 2:08 pm

  81. These are super amazing. They made me break my very long spell of not commenting. Everything she lists is beautiful.

    82. rACHEL on August 13th, 2008 at 1:52 pm

    85. Kat on August 13th, 2008 at 12:05 pm

  85. Those pieces are all ridiculously beautiful. I am in awe!! The elevator necklace is truly genius.

    LOVE the headband too!

    86. AJ on August 13th, 2008 at 12:00 pm

  86. Oh my god!
    In all my searches of “circus” and “sideshow”, how did I not find these????!!

    87. elixabeth on August 13th, 2008 at 11:49 am

  87. these are wonderful. i am secretly a circus bear on a tightrope, on a unicycle, in a flapper dress, weeping over some violets in the grass. this jewelry is, indeed, lovely.

    88. lorine on August 13th, 2008 at 11:22 am

  91. Those are soooo neat and unique. Love love love*****

    92. Karen on August 13th, 2008 at 9:54 am

  92. Oh I am soooo jealous of the Zoltar necklace; Big is one of my favorite movies. But the rest of her jewelry is also phenomenal, so damn creative! Now I have another Etsy seller to stalk when I’m bored and daydreaming how to waste all of my money, thanks Amber!

    93. Nicole on August 13th, 2008 at 8:59 am

  93. I absolutely love the playful element in these gorgeous pieces! Truly something to build an outfit around to.

    94. Shiri on August 13th, 2008 at 8:48 am

    95. Trish on August 13th, 2008 at 8:44 am

  95. My favorite era, without a doubt. I’m all for wilderness, but there’s something so enchanting about a circus.

    96. Danielle on August 13th, 2008 at 7:21 am

  96. everything she makes is so inventive and charming. i particularly have my eye on the ringtail cat necklace, and the circus train lion car charm. oh, and of course the vintage department store elevator necklace.

    97. Jenn on August 13th, 2008 at 6:57 am

  97. ohhhhhh, i do love those pieces, they are amazing! the rocket-necklace reminds me a lot of this really old film of georges méliès, le voyage dans la lune… and then, just think, to be able to play with your jewellery..

    98. Lena on August 13th, 2008 at 2:19 am

  101. these are absolutely purtiful. i saw them a long time ago and fell in love. especially the girl coming out of the cabana. makes me wanna lay on the the beach in a polka dot bathing suit, drink a frilly cocktail with a straw and listen to the girl from ipanema.

    102. jurassicphonoplane on August 12th, 2008 at 11:35 pm
