After much thought, I am closing down Historic Delights and will be deleting this page soon. Thank you for the support you have given me. It amazed me after starting this business in 2005 that customers would return to find something new. Family matters caused me to mostly pause the business in 2015 and with our "pandemic" and new family matters, it has effectively been closed for a few years. I will always remember the hundreds of interactions that I had with the public at re-enactments but mostly I will cherish my time with re-enactors.

Thank you. ❤️

Welcome to some new visitors! Pictures of designed earrings don’t go up very often but I do have a batch that I just have to photograph and get up on the pages. A few years back I was going to events and setting up an 11 x 11 tent with at least five full cases of earrings and necklaces and sleep buttons which are also known as cufflinks in the modern age. Maybe in the future I will be back but I’m going a little small slow right now because I take care of my stepdad full-time who lives with me and has dementia. So look for those new earrings to be posted soon. I believe that all of them are Timeless Delights which means they’re kind of modern. 

If anyone has any questions about 18th Century Jewelry please send me a message.

Thank you SO much to the nine new people who chose to “like” this page. As I have told my other followers on this page, I am not out at reenactments at the moment although I may surprise myself and be able to go to an event this year. But I’m always available to do some custom earrings as I have all of my supplies at home to make both 18th-century looking or modern earrings. The good news about freshwater pearls and semi precious stones is that they don’t go bad!

I so please write me if you have an occasion coming up where you would like to give a unique pair of earrings or maybe you just want to treat yourself with a pair of earrings now. I have all manner of colors available and what I usually do is go back-and-forth via email with my customer including me sending pictures during the process so that we can together design the earrings that you want.

Although I usually design jewelry to look like it’s from the 18th century within my Historic Delights business, sometimes I create pieces that are modern and they go under my title of Timeless Delights. These are some of my designs that do not necessarily qualify as 18th century.

Hey, thanks for all the new likes. We’re almost at 1,500 page likes. Exciting for me!

Some of you know that the past couple of years I have been caregiving for my stepdad who is now 102 and came to live with me after my mother’s funeral. I am still able to design earrings for people and I absolutely love to do that custom work, but at the moment I don’t have plans to go out to event.

SO, if you’ve been thinking about wanting a new pair of earrings to go with a particular top or dress please contact me by email. When I do custom work for someone, after having a conversation to find out exactly what is desired, I then start pulling things from my stock and take pictures and send pictures to you to continue the conversation before the final design is made. So please don’t hesitate to contact me if custom earrings would work for you.

Happy Mothers Day!

Historic Delights is a bit quiet because most of my sales occur at historic sites usually with the reenactment but sometimes just for a history day or fair.

But people also will ask me to design something for them and these two pairs of earrings are winging their way to a mother today.

Welcome to the folks who have “liked” this page or who are followers!

This would be a great time to plan giving some custom designed earrings for Christmas. How may I help you?

Maybe for your administrative assistant? Your wife? Your daughters? That cousin that has been so supportive this year? The neighbor who maybe was taking your mail or newspaper in or walking your dog when you needed it?

OR MAYBE FOR YOU!

I have some already designed and made stock in my cases, but I also have a lot of materials to design and make custom earrings. I can provide almost every color that there can be in both semi precious gems, freshwater pearls and glass pieces that look like gems. I even have some beads that can be made into earrings that were not available in the 18th century, but that I use when I design modern earrings.

If I really had lived in the 18th century, as a woman, I would not be able to vote. We are very blessed that women can vote and you don’t have to own property like you did in the 18th century. So please, get out and exercise your right to vote if you haven’t already.

And thank you for the new likes and new followers on this page. As many of you know, I am taking care of an elderly family member in my home and also because of Covid I’m just not getting out there to full weekend events the past few years. But that does not mean that I am not designing earrings - especially custom ones.  I have loved what I do for 15 years now and had been designing jewelry for my family members before that. If there’s something that you would like please contact me by message or by email and I would be more than happy to discuss what you would like and the choices that you have.

In the new album "Available" that has just been posted, I show just some of the pieces of jewelry that are ready to ship out. A phone call or email or a text is all that is needed to begin. I can accept major credit cards over the phone in order to ship immediately. All jewelry comes in a handsome gift box. If you live west of Philadelphia in the suburbs, I can possibly meet you.
