1929 Galore started with my family and the jewelry that shaped my world growing up in Detroit. Before it was a brand, it was memories, my mom stepping out in her Bamboo Hoops, the gold everyone wore in the 80s and 90s, and me sneaking into my grandmother’s jewelry boxes playing dress up. That’s where my love for jewelry began. Not in a studio… but in a home filled with women who wore their pieces with pride, personality, and a story.

The name 1929 is a nod to sisterhood, 19 for my sister’s birthday, 29 for mine, a reminder of the bond that’s always been at the center of my life.

Jewelry became my language early on. It wasn’t just something to match an outfit, it was identity, creativity, and a way to carry moments with me. That passion eventually turned into 1929 Galore: a place where personal style meets storytelling.

Today, you’ll find a thoughtful mix of vintage, fine, and fashion pieces meant to move with you through every chapter. I create and curate with intention, always thinking about the women who raised me, the girl I once was, and the woman I’m becoming.

1929 Galore is more than a brand, it’s a community of women who love pieces with meaning, who appreciate both old and new, and who wear jewelry as a form of expression the same way I always have.

Jewelry Care

  • To ensure the longevity of your piece we recommend removing all jewelry before swimming or showering. If you happen to wet a piece dry it off immediately.
  • Please keep from exposing your jewelry to perfumes and oils as this may cause them to tarnish easily.
  • Keep all jewelry stored in cases, boxes or storage pouches. The less exposure to dust the better.

*All FINE JEWELRY is ok for water and moisture exposure it should just be cleaned regularly with Jewelry cleaner to restore its shine*

 

 

Our Jewelry Material

  • Gold plated brass- Gold-plated brass is a durable base metal (brass) coated with a thick layer of gold plating. This gives you the look of solid gold at a more affordable price.
  • Gold-filled- NOT real gold, it is plated or bonded gold layer to a base metal or brass that has a small amount of real gold in it. This is what makes gold-filled jewelry last longer than gold tone or gold-plated jewelry. The use of gold filling makes it more durable and longer lasting than a traditional gold plated piece.
  • 10k Gold, 14K Gold, 18k Gold is REAL GOLD JEWELRY. 10k is more affordable because it has a lower gold content than any other karat.
  • 18k Gold or Rhodium Plated Stainless Steel is a metal comprised of Molybdenum and nickel which makes it last longer and helps with its resistant to water. This metal is not recommended for those with allergies to nickel. All of our stainless steel pieces are stated in the descriptions as well as the caution to those with allergies. If you get stainless steel jewelry wet be sure to towel dry after to increase the longevity of your piece.
