Which opened the gate to jewelry
earrings, necklaces and my ren-faire-famous ear cuff
In gold or silver tone with a mini ear cuff to match and secure the piece to your ear, my ren-faire and cosplay famous ear cuffs are a terrific alternative to heavy earrings that strain your earlobes. Crafted with natural stones that have been cleansed and bathed in a full moon, choose your metal tone and color palette and I will design a one-of-a-kind piece for your collection.
One size fits all teens and adults as these are gently adjustable to your unique and beautiful body! Not fitted for little wizards and imps under the age of 12.
Your artwork will arrive beautifully giftwrapped.
Take it all in your stride with a mix of semi-precious stones, glass and pearls make up your custom earrings. Choose from any of my styles, color palettes and either pierced or clip and I will make a collector’s piece that is as unique as you. All of my French hooks are 14k yellow gold filled in both white and yellow gold and my clips are nickel-free brass that will not tarnish (I tested them for five years with saltwater, makeup, hairspray…they don’t budge!)

These pieces are not for the timid. Choose from one or a few of my designs to compliment any outfit with ease and your own original style. These pieces speak for themselves and are easy to dress up and dress down. Made intentionally by hand with semi-precious stones, glass and pearls on 14 karat yellow or white gold-filled chains, get ready to stand up and have everyone stopping you to ask, “Where did you get that?” To which you will respond, “It was made for me by a jewelry designer in New England! All of her pieces are one-of-a-kind.” And they’ll say, “Ahhh! It’s STUNNING!” And you’ll say, “Thank you! It was under $65 so you should check her out. Her name is Samantha, and she owns a company called Little Small & Co.” And then they’ll find me and the cycle continues. Women supporting women, you know?

After three years in business, I finally
succumbed to the magic
and I never looked back
My full portfolio now includes an array of handmade artworks that I make by myself in my studio in southern New England. Little Small & Co. has three retail partners: The Florence Griswold Musuem, Riggio’s Garden Canter & Enchanted Blooms and each year, you can see my imagination on full display at, “The Wee Faerie Village” at The Florence Griswold Museum.
Along the quiet beaches of New England and wandering through the forests, Samantha Barlow-Beamer grew up closely with nature on her doorstep. It was during a trip to Monhegan Island off the coast of Maine when her creative inspiration for building fairy houses and designing jewelry really took off. Monhegan Island has one rule which five-year-old Samantha never forgot and still follows today: You must only make fairy houses with natural materials which have already fallen to the ground.
for the next 30 years or so she did just that; at the bases of trees across the US and Costa Rica where she lived for a summer, Samantha built little fairy houses in the hopes to keep her childhood magic very much a part of her life. The one place she had trouble building fairy houses was in New York City where she lived and worked for ten years as a sales director for a UK based corporate consulting firm and later at a different consulting firm where she developed and launched a software integrated with AI. Trees are hard to come by in New York City so she packed up her sticks and beads and moved back to the shoreline where she found her husband.
Now with their three cats and their toddler, the family travels through New England gathering natural materials for her fairy houses and visiting antique stores searching for beads to repurpose for jewelry. Samantha's art is designed to remind collectors of the beauty of nature and inspire them to continue to do what they can to preserve our incredible planet and respect our natural ecosystems.
