Pearls with a twist. Our alligator clasp adds an unexpected surprise to classic baroque pearls. Modeled on a vintage original, the clasp is cast and plated by artisan workshops in Rhode Island. All of our metal parts are plated with 24kt gold or sterling silver. They are finished with a variety of materials to increase durability~ including e-coat, lacquer, and hand antique.

The original parts, however, come from many places and from tools that have been in use for decades. Given that, a range of finishes (brightness, darkness, etc.) is to be expected, and in fact is part of what makes JW/MA unique! Our chain bracelets have a standard length of 7 34 -8 12, this measurement is end to end- including the lobster claw and end rings.

The bidding was fierce, but John was determined, investing thousands of dollars to ultimately claim the chandelier from Suite 33H, an antique Chinese ginger jar, pillows, trims, even Playbills of historic Broadway shows that guests left behind. Chandelier crystals that once sparkled in New York's Plaza Hotel, now reinvented as modern jewels~ The equestrian Gucci Chain links set a classic tone; the mix of materials adds a little whimsy.
An extensive collection of vintage Italian designer pocket squares and scarves are re-purposed into these unique, one-of-a-kind cuff-links. Each pair matches by color but intentionally contrasts in pattern for a modern, subtlety asymmetrical look. Pick your favorite and we will ship you that exact pair!
John was recently invited to shop the decades-old inventory of a well-known fashion jewelry company. He picked out these awesome chains which are both unique and beautiful! We then had them heavily gold or silver plated to create new Modern Vintage heirlooms. Genuine vintage designer scarves are re-purposed as the centerpieces of this luxe collection.
Inspired by classic signet rings, which were originally worn as a sign of stature. Today they still serve as a form of ID, but with a little more fashion in the mix. The oversize bezel, mixed metal finish, and contrast between the traditional script initial and the hammered gold casing all help make this ring (and you) stand out!
These signed & numbered designs juxtapose vintage with new materials for statement pieces that are uniquely John Wind. Start with a phone conversation or email questionnaire (your choice) with artist John Wind. John will then propose a bracelet based on your personal style, special dates, names, hobbies, passions, etc.

This jewelry is so fun, innovative and unique and makes such an awesome gift as no one else will duplicate it. I did recently have an issue with the clasp on one piece and they could not have more accommodating in replacing it.

I love all of my John Wind jewelry. I have purchased so many pieces over the years. I recently wore one of his charm bracelets to an event and received so many complements!! I have also purchased many pieces for my mother. I cannot recommend them enough!!!

Worst customer service, ever! I placed an order on 1/12 and still do not have it on 2/9. JW staff blamed the delay on COVID & nor’easter. GET IT TOGETHER, these are poor excuses for bad customer service.

I received this as a Christmas present personalized w/the initial of our last name & i love it. It goes with denim to dress. A confident sight to order from.

Ordered the Sorority Cotton Pearl bracelet and the cotton ball started cracking until it eventually just came apart. Tried calling to find out about a warranty (purchased about 6 months ago) and Brandon was impolite, abrupt, and disconnected the phone while I was still talking!! Needless to say I will NOT be purchasing from this company again.
