Meet Shawnee: The Maker Behind Styled by Shawnee

Hi, I'm Shawnee—the collector, curator, and designer behind Daunais Vintage and Styled by Shawnee. Here's how a love of vintage jewelry became two brands dedicated to preserving the past and creating something new.

Meet the Maker

Hi! I'm Shawnee.

I'm the collector, curator, and designer behind Daunais Vintage and Styled by Shawnee.

I've always been drawn to beautiful things with history. Whether it's a pair of vintage clip-on earrings, a beaded handbag, or an unusual piece of jewelry, I love discovering objects that have stood the test of time.

In 2015, I founded Daunais Vintage to share those discoveries with other collectors. My goal has never been to simply sell vintage pieces—it's to connect people with craftsmanship, design, and history they can wear and enjoy.

Over the years, collecting vintage inspired me to create as well.

That passion eventually became Styled by Shawnee, where I design one-of-a-kind wearable art inspired by the creativity and craftsmanship I admire in vintage jewelry. While many of my designs use modern materials, every piece is thoughtfully assembled by hand with the same attention to detail that first drew me to vintage.

Clip-on earrings have become a signature of my work and my personal style. They're comfortable, expressive, and proof that beautiful jewelry doesn't have to follow modern trends.

When I'm not creating, you'll usually find me exploring antique malls, estate sales, auctions, or researching the history behind a new vintage find.

Thank you for stopping by and supporting a small business built on creativity, curiosity, and a genuine love for beautiful things.

I hope you find something here that you'll treasure for years to come.

— Shawnee
