Each piece of jewelry is designed and hand strung using only the finest quality materials available. Many are "one-of-a-kind". Every wire front design is hand-made from sterling silver or 14K gold filled wire, both round and square wire is used. Beads and crystals are high quality and every necklace and bracelet is strung with flexible, durable (non-corrosive) beading wire and finished with crimp beads at the end of each piece. Swarovski crystals are the only crystals used in this jewelry. Many beads are faceted and have an Aurora Borealis finish to give off the fire and sparkle that is both eye catching and brings in the colors of the material it is worn with. Our best compliments have been customers saying they can feel the quality workmanship and strength in our jewelry as compared to their storebought jewelry pieces. That is what we strive for and anything less would be unacceptable for sale on this site. - Janet Lanier, Owner/Designer
To mention a few...
- Swarovski crystals are made in Austria and are considered the finest of their kind in the world.
- Fire polished beads used are imported from the Czech Republic and are incorporated in the majority of the jewelry.
- Mother-of-Pearl is genuine from the internal layer of the sea mollusk that produces pearls.
- "Foil-lined" beads are by Matsuno of Japan and are used in variations of shapes and sizes.
- Silver beads with the laser cut, or "diamond cut", give off a flash of light to the design and are precision cut.
- Jeweled metal spacers are jeweled with faceted Swarovski crystals.
- Wire used is either Sterling Silver (.925) or 14kt Gold-filled, the professional jeweler's preference for creating wire jewelry. This wire is guaranteed not to chip, fade, peel, as it is "not" a bonded wire. You can wear the jewelry made from this wire 24/7.
