Elizabeth Adams of Ex Voto Jewelry contacted me to let me know about her great jewelry line based out of Montgomery, Alabama
Ex Voto jewelry is created from revamped pieces that were “discarded, left behind, and forgotten” then turned into one of a kind pieces. Elizabeth’s inspirations include Latin American Catholic relics and medals such as retablos, milagros and ex votos.

Both of her parents were artists and her mother’s best friend owned an antique shop. As a child Elizabeth used to spend afternoons in the shop, which helped her develop an appreciation for “the warm patina which comes only from time”. As a gift when she was born her father’s mentor gave her a locket and a card with the handwritten note “May your life be as beautiful as you are.” Elizabeth references this original letter by including a handwritten blessing with each Ex Voto piece.

Love those necklaces!
Hi, fellow southern blogger. I adore this post. I have been thinking of making my own necklace similar to the ones in your post. Thanks for the inspiration…
