The Vintage Empire was born out of a passion for beautiful items with age and character.  Designer Adrienne Mineiro had fallen in love with adorning her home with vintage finds and decided to try her hand at creating jewelry utilizing older pieces.  “Adorn Your Life Royally” became her motto as she sought to not only make her home a regal space, but also the jewelry she creates has an elegant quality. 

With two small children, Adrienne divides her time between caring for her ‘little blessings’ and dreaming up ways to breathe new life into old treasures.  Through her company, The Vintage Empire, she offers handcrafted jewelry and decorative items that are embellished with vintage finds.  Old typewriter keys, brass stampings, rhinestone brooches and cameos are given a new lease of life as they are incorporated into modern designs.  Each piece is unique with much thought and care put into its creation.
