Our Story
Sterling Silver Pointe Shoe Charm — Nutcracker Jewelry

She was an Angel.

A mom who loves the arts.
Thirty years of Nutcracker seasons.

I'm not a ballet company. I'm a mom — passionate about the performing arts and everything dance means to the families who live it every fall.

Nutcracker Jewelry was founded in 1996 by dance instructor Barbara Selvy, who drew every pose from real costumes, real roles, real stages. I acquired the brand in 2005, and for the past twenty years I have carried it forward with the same belief she had: that every dancer deserves something that lasts longer than flowers.

One of a kind dance charms in sterling silver and 14K gold. Featured in the 1998 issue of Dance Magazine. The perfect gift for any dancer or ballet supporter — and an excellent fundraising tool for the schools and studios that make the magic happen.

T-shirts shrink. Flowers die. Programs end up in a box. This stays.
