Hi, I'm Yvonne, artist, creator, and owner of A Modern Tale. I design and handcraft each piece of jewelry in my studio in beautiful New England. I love to experiment with new styles and techniques, such as the inclusion of beach sand in my latest Acadia Collection.

When I'm not in the studio, you might find me at a bluegrass festival, thrifting at a secondhand shop, traveling in the Southwest, or renovating my little house on the Maine coast. You can find out more about what I'm up to in my blog.

    Beautiful earrings. Well crafted. The shining star was that the artist allowed me to collaborate on how I wanted them. A true gem.
