We are a family business offering you luxurious, hand-made jewelry at affordable prices. Each piece of our jewelry is unique, made in the US, and hand crafted by a family artisan using only the finest materials. For example, our crystal pendants use only Swarvoski crystals from Austria and are wrapped in sterling silver or gold filled wire. We use Swarvoski crystals because of their unmatchable clarity and brilliance; We use gold filled wire instead of the less expensive material so our pieces will retain thier luster and shine. (Gold filled wire has an actual layer of fine karat gold versus the microscopically thin gold firm of gold-plated.)
