We’ve also recently added a special collection created from vintage beads and findings, all repurposed using multi-media collage techniques into imaginative designs for today.  Our overall line ranges from very affordable earrings and bracelets to exquisite artistic necklaces.  We also do custom work, so keep us in mind for weddings, proms, and other special occasions.

The artist behind Winged Imp Designs, Tina Noonan, began her artistic journey as a young girl; learning needlework, decoupage, beaded embroidery, clay sculpture, and many other techniques from her very artsy and creative mother.  Despite that background, Tina’s adult life took her away from the creative life and into the business world.  She returned to those roots several years ago when she discovered wire sculptured jewelry techniques.  She has since done formal training in metalsmithing, metal clay, stained glass, and lampworking.  Today, the jewelry of Winged Imp Designs combines the best of those experiences into truly unique and exciting jewelry.

The Story Behind Our Name:

Our company name originates in one of Tina’s special childhood memories:  chasing the giant moths of summer under the outdoor light of her rural Indiana home.  To her, the most impressive of these moths was the Imperial: a gorgeous specimen with yellow and violet wings.  She has also always been an avid reader, and one of her favorite childhood books was Gene Stratton Porter’s Girl of the Limberlost – a story which features the lovely Imperial Moth.  One of Tina’s little-girl dreams was to someday own a store and name it after the gorgeous Imperial.  When she founded her jewelry design business, she unearthed that little-girl dream.  However, she felt that Imperial Designs wasn’t quite the fit she was looking for, so instead she shortened “Imperial” to “Imp”.  And, since it was the moth’s beautiful wings that had originally attracted her, she added the word “Winged”.  Hence, Winged Imp Designs was born.
