“It’s not too perfect!” This is the conception behind RBJewels! RBJewels uses vintage and fashion jewelry that have lost their purpose to create a new piece of art.  Sometimes this means deconstructing a bracelet, necklace or earrings, then combining them based on color and balance creating a new piece of art.   Vintage jewelry has what I call “love worn scars,” meaning you can see the wear from being worn and loved for years by a special someone.   When I find these vintage pieces, I want to save them from destruction and give each piece a new life with a new love. 

In today's fashion advertising, young girls and woman are portrayed as being perfect in their airbrushed, photo-shopped way.  There are voices now bringing this subject to light and pushing for a change:  to recognize that beauty does not equal "perfection".  RBJewels represents this voice with my repurposed creations of art. 

My hope and prayer is that any women that wears an RBJewels piece will "Feel Pretty"  and can relate to the lack of perfection but the beauty of combining several non perfect pieces together in one piece of art.  

Each piece is one-of-a-kind, unique, just like every woman.  

May you always "Feel Pretty".  ~ Roxanne Brillante-Justice
