Upcycled Longines 14k white gold and diamond & quartz briolette earrings by G&GS
About the Item
The base for this glitzy little earring set was a brand new, never worn 14k white gold and diamond Longines brand watch, circa 1957 that came from a friend to Mary Elizabeth, of Glitter and Gold Studio, in a Kaspar and Esh case (notable New York jewelers from the same era). Unable to imagine melting down the beautiful little watch, Mary decided to refashion the watch frame into an earring set. She paired the diamond ribbons from the repurposed watch with large Russian-mined quartz “rock crystal” briolettes.
The set contains approximately .47 carats in single cut diamonds (SI-1 clarity and F-G color), and the quartz briolettes have a total carat weight of 21.74.
Upcycling vintage jewelry is a passion of Mary Elizabeth's, owner and goldsmith at Glitter and Gold Studio in Seattle, Washington. Finding older styles of vintage jewelry, particularly those that are made with processes lost to time, and mixing them with modern elements and gems enable her to create jewelry that is truly timeless and unique!

Glitter and Gold Studio
Glitter & Gold may be new (I opened my doors December 2021), but I’m not new to the art of creating custom jewelry. In 1994, starting out as an apprentice for my uncle at Foxfire Jewelers, I swept floors and washed the walls, working my way up to jewelry repair and then custom creation. I began building my craft as a custom jewelry designer, spending tens of thousands of hours “on the bench,” learning to fix, design, ethically source materials and gems, and ultimately create high-quality jewelry that stands the test of time. I’ve been lucky to have spent my entire career as a goldsmith working exclusively with and for small custom design studios, including Blue Heron Jewelry, Goldmine Design, MJB Jewelers, Scholdt, and more. It was a combined catalyst of the pandemic and my 50th birthday that fueled the spark to finally pursue my dream of opening my own studio — one where I could invite clients in to experience the art of creating unique and meaningful jewelry. Using 100% recycled precious metals, ethically sourced gemstones and diamonds, and focusing on small businesses as my vendors I’m able to make custom jewelry that supports our heart and home. Outside of creating unique hand crafted jewelry, I enjoy roller skating, gardening, face time “dates” with my daughter away at college, and spending time with my family. I live on beautiful Bainbridge Island, and love my ferryboat commute to work every day! I also run a delightful little Hobbit House Airbnb in our backyard!
