Hello dear friends, as the price of silver has continued to skyrocket as well as gold, putting many jewelers out of business. We are very blessed that we make most of our pieces with a polymer nylon filament that is waterproof and durable, but fairly reasonable. It is the work that goes into the compositions that creates Both the beauty and the bottom line cost. We are mostly labor not materials although we do use beautiful materials. Anyways, I started traveling, going to flea markets and various venues looking for Vintage silver to replace the resources I can no longer get. Even Tucson was devoid of much interesting silverwork. Got beautiful pearls, gemstones and other treats And the trip was delightful, but I could only stay two days and wanted to see my brother so I didn’t have much luck with Silver. As I stumble across oddities, quirky things and also beautiful Victorian pieces, vintage jewelry, antique or antiques, looking wedding dresses and men’s shoes and accessories Even games I buy them. And I pass them on to my wider circle not necessarily you guys, but I thought I’d give you an update of what we’re up to down here in Florida. Hope to see our friends up north this summer somewhere around 3/4 of the way through May. Just when it gets warm! Ha ha ha.
