What Are smalltimores?

smalltimores are fun, lightweight, handcrafted, affordable, one-of-a-kind earrings, necklaces, cuff links, pins, and key rings featuring visually compelling images recycled from magazines and other paper items. Apart from custom work, images are used as found - never resized, manipulated, or copied.

The name smalltimores is derived from the term smalltimore, an affectionate Baltimore nickname for my beloved and sometimes provincial (for good and bad) city. The tagline Happiness Under Glass affirms that putting something under glass, particularly something small, serves to elevate its importance, and acknowledges what you've told me from the beginning - that smalltimores jewelry simply makes you happy.
