At Ex Voto Vintage, every piece of jewelry carries a story — not just in its design, but in the materials we choose. Many of our jewelry pieces are made from natural gemstones, vintage beads, and semiprecious elements like pearls and shells. These aren’t just beautiful, they’re meaningful. Whether it’s a vintage glass bead or gemstone Elizabeth sourced on a design hunt, each one becomes part of something deeper.
Inspired by The Aesthetics of Joy by Ingrid Fetell Lee, Elizabeth is reminded of how even small things, like a colorful bead or a piece of vintage glass, can spark joy. Joy in design is a form of gratitude, and accessories are often tiny, wearable reminders of what we love, what we’ve been through, and where we’re going.
