We focus our energies and creativity on making affordable, durable and unique jewelry pieces-all items that we do or would want to wear or enjoy giving to good friends and relatives.



While most of pieces can be made in sterling silver or gold filled, many of our pieces are made from Parawire, a well respected brand of coated copper wire made for over 80 years and used throughout the crafting and metal industry frequently marketed under other names. We purchase directly from Parawire to ensure the highest quality greatest selection and lowest price which we can pass on to you.
