These charms were originally part of earrings & necklaces made in West Germany by designer Kordes & Lichtenfels during the late 19th century. They are made of high quality materials, such as gold filled metals, Venetian Glass, & antique pearls. At the beginning of the 20th century the company moved to Rhode Island & was renamed the Spiedel Company. The K&L trademark ceased to exist in 2004. 

We have paired these beautiful vintage pieces with our own charms made of precious & semi precious gemstones. The trinkets sit on 14k gold filled chains - perfect for sensitive skin & everyday wear!

  • Suffragist, settlement house founder, peace activist and Nobel Peace Prize winner, Jane Addams rejected marriage and motherhood in favor of a lifetime commitment to social reform.  

    Addams and her friend, Ellen Gates Starr, traveled to England in 1881, where they were inspired by the famed Toynbee Hall in London—a special facility to help the poor. In 1889, they moved into an old mansion in an immigrant neighborhood in Chicago, where Addams lived for the rest of her life.  

    Hull-House, as it was named, provided a place for immigrants of diverse communities to gather. Addams and other Hull-House residents sponsored legislation to abolish child labor, establish juvenile courts, limit the hours of working women, recognize labor unions, make school attendance compulsory and ensure safe working conditions in factories.  

    Addams wrote and lectured, openly opposing World War I. After the armistice, she founded the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, serving as president from 1919 until her death in 1935. Remembered as the mother of social work, Addams shaped social legislation that continues to impact the world today.
