about The Vintage Pearl
The Vintage Pearl creates unique and meaningful handstamped jewelry and keepsakes. Each piece is handcrafted from start to finish with care in our studio in Tulsa, Oklahoma. We use raw sterling silver, freshwater pearls and birthstone crystals in our creations.
Each letter is individually stamped by hand, we do not use a machine, making every piece a true one-of-a-kind!
Our jewelry is customized with any names, dates or words of inspiration, and we have several fonts and charm shapes to choose from. We want your piece to be meaningful to you.
We have many unique designs and come out with new designs often. You can also "design your own" handstamped necklace by picking your favorite shapes and fonts with our eclectic necklace and our dainty eclectic necklace!
We create handstamped necklaces, bracelets, keychains, leather cuffs, earrings, dog tags, baby spoons and more- the perfect gift for everyone!
how The Vintage Pearl began
The Vintage Pearl began in 2007 as a creative outlet while being a stay at home mom to our 4 young children.
(Jonah, Eden, Caleb and Tessa, summer 2009)
Quite surprisingly, it grew into a business!
I taught myself how to make jewelry by googling, reading books and magazines. I started out on eBay, then opened up a shop on Etsy, then eventually started our own website. I really enjoyed it and helped me bring in a little bit of income while having the flexibilty of staying home with our kids.
In June of 2010 we opened up a retail store in Tulsa, Oklahoma- very exciting!
(81st and Lewis, next to Zio's in Tulsa, OK)
The retail store has given us a face to face connection with our customers that has been alot of fun! We get to hear the story behind their purchase, which we have really enjoyed.

I am so thankful for all of the customers that have supported us! We know that your word of mouth referrals have helped spread the word and we sincerely appreciate you all!
The Vintage Pearl team
I have so much fun working side by side with some of my closest friends. It's been a fun but sometimes bumpy ride along the way- it's been alot of hard work! I truly appreciate each one of them, without their help The Vintage Pearl could not have continued to grow.
Plus they make it way more fun :)
why we do what we do
The Vintage Pearl works closely with several non profit organizations, Christian Ministries and orphanages. We have a heart for people in need, and the success of the company allows us to give. We have several pieces for a cause where monies are donated for each sale, but we also give in other areas (missions, church needs, etc.) as we feel led.
When you buy one of our pieces you are blessing someone is need!
A few places we have donated to:
Stop Child Trafficking Now
Tulsa Dream Center
Orphan Shield
The Mercy House
Inspire International Ministries
and many others.
God has blessed our business and we use His blessings to bless others!
