About Vintaj Natural Brass Co. Vintaj Natural Brass Co. is a dream fullled of three women-sisters Wendy Mullane and Jeanne Holland, along with their close friend,
Jess Italia Lincoln. Born with kindred spirits the three were brought together through their passion for jewelry design in a place oering
natural beauty, history and inspiration-the small eclectic and art inspiring town of Galena IL.
The spark ignited when Wendy and Jeanne were teaching jewelry design to a women’s group in their church in the spring of 2001.
Playfully and artfully manipulating a ligree bead, Jeanne opened it and wrapped it around a glass stone. Wendy and Jeanne
immediately realized the unlimited potential of what they now term “creative settings” and began to design together full time as Vintaj
Design Studios. Not only did this venture give the opportunity for an income and creative outlet, but also it allowed time for the things
they considered most important: raising their children and serving in the community. Wanting to share this opportunity with others like
themselves, they began to explore the notion of oering their jewelry components to the beading industry. Impressed with Jess’s unique
sense of design, creativity, talent and fervor, Wendy and Jeanne invited her to join them. Immediately applying her talents, Jess beganimplementing a campaign to reach beaders all over the world. (Sharing their unique products and innovative techniques by exhibiting in
bead shows and being featured in books, magazines and key publications) Jess completed the circle, and through their combined eorts,
Vintaj Natural Brass Co. was born. Three artisans, here to share the good fortune they’ve found through working together, as one, in
the spirit of inspiration, friendship and harmony…
