Tiny Teapot Jewelry - A Charming Tradition

Tiny Teapots are a contemporary revival of a charming British tradition. In the late 1990s we began producing a collection of these delightful charms for collectors in the United States. Generations of British ladies adorned their charm bracelets with colorful miniature teapots. They served as pleasant reminders of that most beloved of all British customs, tea time. These charms were special gifts from friends and family members and grew to be treasured heirlooms. Now Shiny Stuff has revised and expanded this marvelous tradition. Teapot jewelry is no longer reserved just for charm bracelets. Tiny teapots are also delightful as earrings, pendants, attachments to pins, or loaded onto charm necklaces for the more adventurous ladies. Doll collectors will also find them perfect accessories for dolls while miniaturists think they are just right for their dollhouses. Tiny teapots are also at home in a shadow box, kitchen window, or artfully assembled with other treasured objects.


For many years we scoured antique fairs and shops in Scotland, England, and Ireland searching for vintage jewelry treasures. It was truly love at first sight when we discovered our first teapot charm at an antique shop in Glasgow Scotland, years ago. Eventually other teapot designs surfaced. I wore a teapot on my charm necklace along with 70 other charms but that teapot was the one everyone always asked about and wanted to buy. We knew then that we had to revive the tradition for others who may find Tiny Teapots irresistible. After several years of refining the original concept we take great pleasure in introducing Tiny Teapots to a new generation of teapot lovers.
