Oh My Goodness! This month’s issue has so many Vintaj goodies, you are gonna want to get your copy today! Our good friend Lisa Kan is featured on the cover as well as this months’ Designer Highlight. She has draped all twelve of her designs with Vintaj! Lisa always creates the most lavish designs, layering beadcaps, filigree, chain and her incredible seed bead weaves. We are constantly amazed at her attention to detail and are thrilled to see her work get the attention it deserves. Hooray for elegant and romantic jewelry designs!
In addition to Lisa’s savvy spread we are happy to see three more projects that feature Vintaj! Popular designer and good friend Erin Prais-Hintz shares her She Walks in Beauty necklace on page 88. Jess and I had the pleasure of hanging with Erin on her trip to Galena and she was wearing this necklace. I am happy to say that despite the beautiful photography of her piece it looks even more delightful in person, and having Erin explain how she was inspired by the photograph of her grandmother makes the design so inspiring. We love that photo inside the bezel!
Adelin’s Legacy by Erin Strother on page 90 is anther inspiring piece. Using one of her grandfathers handmade cabochons, Erin’s design is fabulously unique. We love her bold sunburst stone, supported by cable chain and colorful leather with touches of copper. In fact we’re pretty sure her grandfather would approve of his stone now being the focal of this awesome design.
One of our favorite designers Denise Yezbak Moore has her Britty’s Butterfly necklace featured on page 114 of this issue. It’s no secret that we love her jewelry and this design is no exception. Wrapping, linking and dangling, we adore the pendant on this piece. Simple and sophisticated… this necklace rocks!

Jewelry with an Artistic View. Hey that could be the new tag line for Vintaj. Jewelry Findings & Embellishments with an Artistic View.
Anywho, I have two pieces in the June issue and I’m almost ashamed to say they don’t include Vintaj.
I admire and respect these designers very much. They bring a lot of integrity to this business and their own work.

Wow. Thank you so much for the shout out. What a nice surprise to find on Friday!
I did meet Jess and Rose and they were so sweet. And of course when I met them I was wearing a piece made with Vintaj. From the variety in these pages it is clear that Vintaj goes with every style!
I love that I am in this issue with so many inspiring artists like Lisa and Denise and Erin. And also those that don’t always use Vintaj (yes, Jeannie! I am talking to you!). Thank you, Vintaj, for such a nice honor. I am tickled to be a part of your post.
Enjoy the day!
