Vignette

In fine art, a vignette is an image that fades into its background with no defined border. In literature and film, a vignette is a brief story with a powerful ambience that suggests a larger narrative. Danforth's signature Vignette collection is an exploration of the concept of a vignette in the form of jewelry.

From Soar to Pause to Roots, each piece is thoughtfully designed and handcrafted, capturing a single moment that holds a deeper meaning. We hope that these exquisitely handcrafted earrings and necklaces will serve as beautiful reminders of what really matters.
