Who is Decadence 2?
Everything at Decadence 2 is created by myself, Brenda Braun. Decadence 2 showcases a creative use of gemstones and precious metals to adorn the person who likes to wear something just a little different.
Running the gamut from simple and beautiful (Simply Beautiful) to a little indulgent (One of a Kind Artisan Jewellery),I strive for quality at any price point.
What you won't find?
Plastic or low quality glass beads, non-precious metals (beyond the recycled vintage components sometimes present in the OOAK Artisan Jewellery).
Local Arts Community Involvement
I am a co-founder of the CK Etsy Team (Chatham-Kent Etsy Street Team)...a collective of local artists, artisans & crafters that sell online at Etsy.com. We are a grass-roots team whose basic mandate/motto is 'Buy Local, Buy Handmade'.
We host local trunk shows, exhibitions and promote each other and the crafting/art community at large through our Facebook pages, shows etc.
More Information
I live, with my husband and an assortment of animals, in a c.1850's fieldstone farmhouse, near the middle of nowhere in southwestern Ontario, Canada. We have two grown children and the most adorable grandson.
I have a little boutique on our property where I carry my jewellery and my other creations like shabby pretty crafting supplies, vintage dishware, aprons and paper gifts such as handbound journals.
I love to read, do collages and assemblages and would like to live in Mexico all winter and here in the summer!
