Reproduction Collections & Austrian Crystal

This is the collection that started it all and what we specialize in. This collection uses a variety of antique glass circa 1900 - 1940 along side Austrian Crystal. We use stamped brass findings issued from the original dies from Victorian, Art Nouveau and Deco design periods. Newly imported European glass, Swarovski Austrian Crystal and the antique glass are incorporated with the metal into unique designs, some contemporary, some distinctly reminiscent of antique costume jewelry. The pieces are soldered together, rather than glued. The stones are hand set and all of our jewelry is fully guarenteed for the life of the piece with proper use.

Most of the line is available in two metal finishes, antique brass and antique silver. Each piece is oxidized, hand relieved and lacquered to bring out the details of the stamping and prevent tarnishing. All the necklaces are adjustable with a lobster claw clasp. Most of our earrings are available with a European lever back wire, a surgical steel jewel post featuring Swarovski Austrian Crystal or a hinged screw clip for those without pierced ears.

To clean items in the Reproduction Collection, DO NOT submerse in jewelry cleaner. Simply wipe with a slightly damp cloth. Cleaners of any type may damage the lacquer in the plating process and cause the piece to patina or tarnish.

We also do custom work in this line for weddings and prom. If you would be interested in more details about jewelry for your special day, please contact us at any of our locations and we will be happy to work with you.

Alpaca Collections

This collection is made with an alloy metal consisting of nickle, zinc, and copper and is a less expensive substitute for sterling silver. This combination of metal slows down the tarnishing process and makes the metal much stronger than sterling silver. This metal is combined with hand blown glass stones, fiberoptic glass stones, agate and seaglass to create a line that is both contemporary and fun to wear. We have several size stones that give each item a different look from small and conservative to the larger chunky items. The smaller 8mm stones are also good for children and come in many fun colors.

To clean items in the Alpaca Collection, simply wipe the piece with a polishing cloth made for sterling silver or any other sterling silver cleaner.

Asia Collections

This features hand selected items that reflect the latest in trends and fashion. Items include everything from hand blown glass to freshwater pearls. Some items also include semi precious stones. All items are hand assembled and hand strung giving each piece it's own unique look. With the use of actual semi precious stones the colors and patterns in the stones may vary from item to item. When ordering necklaces, bracelets, and earrings as sets, ordering them together at the same time will make it possible to get closer matches in the stone's colors and natural characteristics.

The cleaning of the items in the Asia Collection will vary depending on which specific piece it is.

Sterling Silver Collections

All of our Sterling Silver is .925 and hand crafted by talented artisans in Mexico and Indonesia. Each chosen for it's interesting and unique style and a high quality. Combined with the Sterling Silver you will find a variety of antique glass including Czech, Japanese, and German, along with Swarovski Austrian Crystal and semi precious stones. Many of the items that include these stones are designed by Sadie including some one of a kind pieces and limted runs that are only available at our gift shops and to our wholesale shoppers during tradeshows.

All of the items in the Sterling Silver Collection can be cleaned using the usual methods for sterling silver. However, some freshwater pearls and natural stones and shells can be damaged by harsh cleaners. Please be careful when choosing which sterling cleaner for your individual item.

Wildflower and Shell Collections

The wildflower and shell collections feature real flowers and shells inlaid in an acrylic resin and set in .925 Sterling Silver. Many people ask if they really are real flowers and shells due to the small size, but yes they are! Each flower and shell is hand placed in the acrylic and hand set in sterling silver by talented artisans in Mexico.

To care for your floral and shell pieces simply wipe clean with a sterling silver polishing cloth or any other method of sterling silver cleaner.

The floral items are made with real dried flowers and therefore are sensitive to long periods of exposed sunlight. Regular wearing of the item in the sun will not affect the piece, but storing the piece for a long period of time in direct sunlight may cause the color of the flowers to fade. This information is particularly important for our wholesale shoppers who may have them displayed in their shop windows.

Glass Pendant Collection

The glass pendant collection is a series of hand blown glass designs available in unique colors and combinations. The collection includes leaves, starfish, swirls/comets, and occasionally a variety of other shapes. Many of the blown glass items include gold and silver foil accents to give a little extra sparkle to the piece. We have several colors of suede and silk chokers and each of these items comes with the color cord that coordinates with it the best.

To clean the Glass Pendant Collection an ordinary commercial glass cleaner will work well.
