Hello!
Thank you for your interest in Havana’s Heyday. To tell you a bit about myself: I am a wife, mother (two humans and three dogs) and colon cancer survivor. I love to help women enhance their personal style through jewelry, and I also believe strongly in giving back. I’m proud to say that Havana’s Heyday donates 5% of each sale to the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, the nation’s leading nonprofit dedicated to colorectal cancer.

How did Havana’s Heyday begin?
For over 30 years I have loved fashion, especially jewelry. I remember perusing antique shops with my mom as a kid and I always asked for jewelry for my birthday. Over the years, I continued to collect antique and vintage jewelry because of its unique appearance and higher quality standards (much better than today’s mass manufactured costume jewelry). It also adds that “wow factor” to your look! As my collection grew, I started to create my own designs from vintage finds and repurposed elements. I decided to share my passion by opening an online boutique and Havana’s Heyday was born. As my interest for designing and creating jewelry grew, I expanded into metalsmithing and now offer even more handmade and custom pieces.
What’s with the name?
The amazing city of Havana, Cuba holds a special place in my heart. My husband and I met in Havana and we named our daughter after the city. In its heyday of the 1940s and 1950s, Havana was considered the quintessential portrait of style as it served as a tropical playground for celebrities and socialites that radiated glamour. I want to help you inject a little of “Havana’s Heyday” into your own personal style – whatever that may be!

I can’t tell you how many cheap gold necklaces I’ve bought for my 13 year old daughter only to have them break and/or tarnish in no time. I know a lot about silver but I decided to do a little searching for high quality and reasonably priced gold chains and charms so that I could make her something that would last! It turned out to be so cute that I wanted to share with you!
Stop by @roxannes_refillery this Saturday to create your own unique charm necklace or bracelet. The Charm Bar will be open from 10am - 4pm. It’s stocked with all kinds of fun charms (and we’ll have some wine too). Hope to see you there!

It took me awhile to make this flower ring but it turned out to be one of my favorite pieces since I started my metalsmithing journey.
I decided to put the ring in the tumbler to get a nice polish but it’ll look so pretty as the copper starts to patina. Swipe to see some behind-the-scenes soldering.

I’m a big fan of the tumbler! You toss the pieces into the barrel and it uses stainless steel shot and a little burnishing compound to polish them. It’s especially helpful for hammered or more intricate pieces; it creates a nice shine without the elbow grease!

This hammered brass cuff took me awhile to finish because I discovered my soldering torch wasn’t nearly hot enough to complete the job. Once I got back into the studio at @sweetwaterartcenter this week and used the acetylene torch there I got it done.
If you’re not familiar with soldering metal, you have to get both metals you’re soldering to the same temp at the same time. Brass heats at a much higher temp than sterling silver so my little torch at home just didn’t cut it! I’m not adventurous enough to try the bigger torch at home…yet. 😆 🔥
