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!

Mixed metal jewelry…yay or nay?! I’d love to know! Please share 👇
I primarily wear silver but I like to add a pop of gold sometimes!
I’ve been practicing working with different metals so it was fun to create these earrings using sterling silver and brass. Even though they’re a larger style I used thin gauge metals so they’re still very lightweight.
Happy Friday!

It took a little trial and error to find a good method for making these bows. I originally planned to turn them into earrings but I decided they work better as necklace pendants. 🎀

This heart is the first pendant I cut using a jeweler’s saw; per my instructor’s advice I made the pattern a little larger to make it easier to cut out. I’ve been working on my sawing skills the past couple weeks. They’re slowly getting better! I made a smaller version of the heart but I haven’t set the stone yet. What color should I use? Comment below 👇 Thanks!

I’m so excited to share the latest project from my metalsmithing class. I learned so much making this pendant. I created it from a sheet of sterling silver and the little accent stone is pink tourmaline.
There are big changes in store for Havana’s Heyday! If you’ve been following along in stories, you can probably guess. 😉

I finished the first project in my metalsmithing class yesterday! It’s hard to believe this cuff started out as a copper pipe. I’m very excited about what I’m learning to create next - a thin sterling silver cuff with a small stone accent. Stay tuned!

Check out this beautiful ring I found at a local antique shop! It’s sterling silver with copper turquoise. Copper turquoise is actually a manufactured stone created by crushing turquoise and then reforming it using copper which produces the beautiful metallic veining.
I’ve always been a sucker for turquoise and sterling silver jewelry. It’s what inspired me to take a metalsmithing class. I’ve only had one class but I love it so far. I hope to offer my silver loving gals custom pieces in the near future!
