In 2008 Corvus Noir was nothing more than a twinkle in the eye of Lauren Vitello, a jewelry designer with a passion for all things vintage. A number of items in her vintage collection showed potential, but were in need of a modern refresh. So, she began taking apart charm bracelets, cutting chains off rhinestone chokers, clipping pins off brooches and drilling holes to hang them from chains. It was in this experimental period that Corvus Noir was born.

Our jewelry is handmade and one of a kind, dating from the 1850s to the 1980s. Every item has a story, from the historical context of a decade, to a heartfelt message engraved on the surface or the weathered photos in a locket. We love to give our pieces new life and celebrate their beauty once again.

Our online boutique is home to additional designers who share the same creative spirit as Lauren. You’ll find that all their jewelry and accessories are of the highest quality, handmade and in most cases one of a kind.
