| Atticdwellers is owned and operated by Angelique and Cale Jones of Chattanooga, TN. We hand-make all products ourselves using recyclables and vintage collectibles. The name Atticdwellers was chosen because we were living in an attic apartment when we started our business in 2006. Our initial vision for the business was to open a location combining a retail shop, cafe, and art gallery. The focus of this concept was geared towards fair trade, organic, and eco-friendly products. After much research, we determined the amount of funding needed to start the shop was beyond our reach at that point. We realized it would be better to start small by developing our own products first which would fit in with our initial vision. After much thought and meditation on what kind of product we would like to make,one night while sleeping, Angelique had a vivid dream including details on the product development of our unique bottle cap necklaces. We are still striving to eventually reach our long-term goal of opening a permanent location where we can promote other companies products that have a similar vision and goals. While there are a few other craft artists making jewelery out of bottle caps, we are certain you will find our design to be superior in quality. Each bottle cap is coated in a special protective layer to prevent rusting or fading. Some of the caps we use are up to 80 years old! Many of our customers have a collection of our jewelry. There are only so many vintage bottle caps left out there, and at some point it is likely the supply will become extremely limited. People have been collecting bottle caps for years. There are still attics with boxes of undiscovered bottle caps. Our thoughts are that it is better to turn these unique collectibles into something useful and wearable rather than leave them sitting a box somewhere to rust and gather dust. We are always adding new products and rotating the selection available. Please visit our site often, or come see us at one of the many festivals we do throughout the year. We try to keep the selection as varied as possible on this site, however, due to the nature of collectibles it is impossible to show everything we have available. At festivals we have up to 100 varieties to choose from. If you don't see what you are looking for on the site, please email us. We should also mention that while Cale helps with Atticdwellers products, his main focus is on his oil paintings. Please visit his website at www.calejones.com to view his work.
