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.”

i’m charmed beyond words.
I am just getting into jewelery so I am really digging this tip-off! I love vintagey styles like on the mermaid headband<3 Such rad jewelery!
HAHA, er, acrobat headband, not mermaid. Durr…
I love these so much, they are so unique and charming.
I agree with there being too many fawns on jewelry lately. I love these pieces.
^ – ^ everything is so delightfully cute and supremely awesome!
what dreamy pieces, oh so full of wonder
hearts
Love the interactive idea! Love the vintage, yet modern feel as well.
I used to have a charm bracelet with a tiny rotary telephone that really dialed…so I have a deep love for tiny moving parts!
oh wow, everything is so charming! it’s so whimsical and delicate
Holy moly the time and detailed concentration that goes into these pieces is extraordinary. What a treasure, thanks for turning me onto these…
mad love!
i’m gonna dream about wearing one of these now!
agh wanna buy wanna buy, must waste paycheck and skip buying gas for the next two weeks! these are fantastic, and i fully agree, and completely fresh breath of (consumer) air.
holy awesome! the moon one reminds me of the Pumpkins’ Tonight, Tonight video.
Yay, something new for my birthday list! These are so me.
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.
i was no lie just watching ‘carnivale’ from netflix and then saw these lovely pieces. its fate!
Wow!! So unique and interesting! Definitely a conversational piece! Thanks for the chance xxx
*bookmarks site for payday*
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..
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.
My favorite era, without a doubt. I’m all for wilderness, but there’s something so enchanting about a circus.
These are really amazing! I love the Zoltar one, definately my favorite. The moment i saw it i thought of Big.
I absolutely love the playful element in these gorgeous pieces! Truly something to build an outfit around to.
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!
Those are soooo neat and unique. Love love love*****
I’ve loved vintage since before it was “in style”…in fact my wedding ring is ART DECO vintage!!! Love the styles…and GREAT conversation starters when at a business networking event. I want!
these are absolutely the most adorable pieces of jewelry i have ever seen! i am 1000% in love!!!
*crosses fingers*
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.
Oh my god!
In all my searches of “circus” and “sideshow”, how did I not find these????!!
Those pieces are all ridiculously beautiful. I am in awe!! The elevator necklace is truly genius.
LOVE the headband too!
This just sums up what I look for in jewellery – beautiful, well-made, unique and interesting! Amazing.
Those are amazing! The creativity of others always baffles me. Would love to have one of these!! your headband is quite lovely as well.
Ooooh. Those are, in fact, made of awesomeness. That headband is adorable, and the necklace? ::wants:: Here’s hoping!
These are super amazing. They made me break my very long spell of not commenting. Everything she lists is beautiful.
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
Suddenly none of my other necklaces are good enough.
I’m going to buy something when my next pay check comes in!
OH, SO VUNDAFUL! Zoltar, I wish that i wasn’t a cheap bastard. ha.
I want to be an elevator operator when I grow up!
I’m a sucker for any jewelry that’s interactive. Great stuff.
YUMMY, IM IN LOVE.
These are absolutely amazing! I love them! Oh, to not be on a student’s budget…
I would like one of each, please! So awesome.
That necklace is delightful! *want*
Your pieces are incredibly inventive. I’d love to have one of my very own!!!
