Growing up on a farm in Southwestern Oklahoma, Jacque's first choice of recreation was always horses. When indoor activities prevailed she loved paper dolls but wasn't happy with the outfits they came with. She had to design her own, paint them and cut them out to her specifications.

Before graduating Phi Beta Kappa from Oklahoma State University with a degree in fashion design and marketing, Jacque managed "Mr. G's" clothing store on campus through college. After that, she spent the next 15 years working with clothing and jewelry designers across the country before finally stepping out on her own.

By this time she was collecting china, buttons, flatware and every other antique that fell under the category of "smalls." In 1990 she opened a store in Bird in Hand, Pennsylvania and began selling antiques and everything imaginable made from them.

She joined the National Button Society and realized there were thousands of women just like her who loved the "hunt" and adored the tiny treasures. Along the way she met and worked with several designers making different crafts from these little works of art and broken china. Thus, the beginning of "Vintage Revival."

In 2001 Jacque began to experiment with sterling settings. The jewelry took on a whole new look that year as well. Turquoise, fetishes, arrowheads and old conches lent themselves to the "Western Vintage Revival."

Both feminine yet western, Jacque's work is distinguished by her ability to see a finished piece of jewelry in precious old family heirlooms, to combine unrelated mediums, and to make every single piece of jewelry truly one-of-a- kind.
