Peg and Awl - Book Necklaces & Desk Items

Peg and Awl

We are husband and wife with a boy called Søren and a boy called Silas. We live and work in Philadelphia, Penna. Our work is made from olde things, treasures found and recovered from misfortune and neglect, relics of the unusual, the confused and the macabre, cut and pulled and built into wearable curiosities, inscribable keepsakes and useable, longlasting treasures. We used to make them for ourselves and now we make them for everyone.

 
Kathy Bransfield - Silver and Gold Necklaces

Kathy Bransfield

Kathy sprouted in the backbone of America’s Midwest; Cincinnati Ohio, where she spent her childhood outside climbing trees, fishing for bluegill, and pursuing any and all craft projects that came her way. At the age of 13, she befriended a man from Nigeria who was selling African trade beads at a flea market. That began an obsession that started her on her jewelry path. Having attended the prestigious School for the Creative and Performing Arts, she left home at 15 and began selling her wears to finance her travels across the country while following the band The Grateful Dead.

Stefanie Freydont - Extasia Glass Entaglio Necklaces

Extasia sprang out of the creative genius of its founder, Stefanie Freydont. She envisioned a line of jewelry that emanated classic beauty, old world craftsmanship, and yet stepped right out in front of the most current fashion trend, with fresh and timeless aplomb. We launch 4 new collections a year, all original designs, and most of it hand crafted here in our Northern California workshop. Extasia jewelry is meticulously detailed, in a full palette of colors, to compliment any wardrobe.

Our hand pressed glass intaglios are made in a small Bavarian village, using original steel molds and techniques unchanged from the 1800s. Our shell cameos are hand carved by artisans in the tiny Italian seaside village, Torre Del Grecco, where the art of cameo carving is said to have first developed.

The Extasia collection is currently in store only.
