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.”

Good Luck!
They are so original! I would love to add these to my boring, conservative work attire to make the day a bit more fun!
These pieces are amazing! I think they’re just cutely kitsch enough to work without seeming overtly tacky.
beauteous!! i love them
Wow, they are so hip and just as fun. I want!!
most intrguiging little things. i adore them.
These are awesome! i think I will be ordering one for myself even if i don’t win!
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;)
These are some of the coolest pieces of jewelry I’ve seen! I would love to see more people wearing these great items!
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?
All of these pieces shown are fantastic! I absolutely love them.
Oh wow, it’s all so gorgeous!
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.
Unbelievably cool- especially that headband!
they are: whimsy. cute. hip. enchanting. edgy. charming. and also…perfect. PICK ME!
these are all ridculously gorgeous and I would die of sheer happiness if I won.
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.
Pretty, pretty. The zoltar one is especially precious, there was a wooden genie fortune teller on flapjack yesterday evening.
those are to die for! i am gobsmacked.
i can’t remember how, but i’ve stumbled across these beauties before!
reading this post was the best feeling of deja vu ever.
They are all great! So hard to pick a favorite! Very original, true conversation pieces.
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!
Absolutely LOVE the jewelry!! Never saw anything so outrageous and cool and of course HIP in my life. If I don’t win, I will probably have to buy something. So Happy I happened along this great place!!!
I love all of this jewelry. It is so gorgeous and actually inventive and different.
Love!
This is beautiful wearable art. Thanks to Elastic Waist for the link!
So gorgeous!
Everything looks gorgeous and so unique!
Wow, are those ever clever!! I’d love a chance to win that, thank you so much!!
How pretty all these things are
Oh how pretty your things are
This would make a great gift for my wife
The jewelry is beautiful and original… I do so love wearing something no one has ever seen before! Hope I win. <3
Hmm, I don’t see my post here, so I’m just making sure I get in here. Sorry if it actually is a double post!
just gorgeous
I would love to win that! Thanks to Elastic Waist for linking here!
Wow! I love her work. The attention to detail and creativity is simply breathtaking!
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!
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.
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.
These pieces are truly amazing! I think I’m in love…art that’s vintage-cool and original, yet still wearable!
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!
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.
I’ve never seen anything like these before; and in a world of same-old jewellery, I think they’re absolutely wonderful!
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!
Jewelry that can tell me my fortune? As a diehard multi-tasker I’m sold!
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw, this is the nicest piece of jewelry I have seen since http://www.lesucre.canalblog.com
my shoe budget is gonna shrink again!
Oooh, pretty!
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!

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).
GAH! Ridiculously cute – pick me pick me! Well, random generator – randomly pick me!
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)
