Come see our spring updates from these two jewelers...
perfect gifts from 1st communions, confirmations, birthdays and graduation.

In October we started carrying Annaleece jewelry. This line features classic, elegant necklaces, bracelets and earrings cast in pewter and plated in 22k gold or rhodium (a member of the platinum group). Crystallized(TM) with Swarovski(R) crystals, these pieces really shine. They are all hypo-allergenic and nickel-free.

At the beginning of February, Bird On A Wire Design joined the display case with it's vintage look and vintage materials. Made by hand by Newtown's own Amy Lustig, these necklaces and earrings are unique, fun and quirky. Stop and see them - they go fast!
