Welcome to Alma Antigua Artisan Jewelry

Hello! I'm Josie Williams, the artisan behind Alma Antigua, where vintage treasures find new life as one-of-a-kind jewelry.

Our Story

Every piece I create begins with a rescue mission. I seek out broken vintage china with delicate hand-painted patterns, ocean-tumbled sea glass that's journeyed for decades, antique flatware with ornate details from the early 1900s, and natural gemstones waiting to tell their story. These aren't just materials—they're fragments of history, each carrying the soul of a cherished heirloom or a journey through time.

The Art of Transformation

Using traditional artisan techniques like hand-soldering, metalwork, and careful stone setting, I transform these rescued materials into wearable art. A broken teacup becomes an elegant pendant. A vintage spoon becomes a statement ring. Sea glass polished by the ocean becomes a delicate earring. Each piece is handcrafted in my studio, ensuring no two are ever identical.

Sustainable Luxury

At Alma Antigua, sustainability isn't just a buzzword—it's our foundation. By upcycling vintage materials, we're keeping beautiful objects out of landfills and giving them a second chapter. Every purchase supports slow fashion, artisan craftsmanship, and the preservation of vintage treasures that might otherwise be lost to time.

Collections

Our signature collections include:

• Broken China Jewelry: Rescued vintage porcelain featuring delicate florals, Blue Willow, Victorian scenes, and collectible patterns
• Sea Glass Jewelry: Authentic ocean-tumbled glass in rare colors, each piece naturally frosted by decades at sea
• Silverware Jewelry: Vintage and antique flatware transformed into rings, bracelets, and necklaces with original patterns intact
• Stones & Metalbones: Natural gemstones set in artisan metalwork for timeless elegance

One-of-a-Kind Promise

Because I work with rescued vintage materials, each piece is truly unique. When you wear Alma Antigua jewelry, you're wearing a piece of history—a conversation starter, a work of art, and a sustainable choice all in one.
