Raised in rural New Hampshire by artisan parents, Rebekah Brooks was always surrounded by artistic inspiration. She had fascination with jewelry making at an early age. Rebekah's first necklace, lovingly saved by her mom, still adorns the wall of her childhood home. She studied at the Massachusetts college of Art and the Pratt institute in Brooklyn, obtaining a degree in sculpture. After working for such esteemed designers as Kiki Smith and Ted Meuhling in NY, Rebekah finally pursued her life-long passion to start her own jewelry line in 2000. Now, she lives and works out of a reclaimed Victorian church in Northampton, Massachusetts. All the jewelry is designed and handmade there with the help of a supportive staff and they also run a boutique. Rebekah's line is trend-right yet offers classic pieces, many of which have a vintage feeling. Above all, it is absolutely beautiful.

This 14k gold vermeil swallow necklace was inspired by a vintage find. It hangs beautifully on the neck as the chain is attached at the wings. It is approximately 8 1/2" in length and the swallow is 1 1/2" wide. This is definitely one of our favorite pieces from Rebekah. It is truly a unique piece.
