HAND-MADE IN USA: Everything in our line was designed by our talented design team. Our pendants and findings are plated in Rhode Island. All of the jewelry is hand assembled in our offices in Boston and Colorado. INSPIRED BY: An ancient Egyptian necklace, combining semi-precious stones and gold spacers. In ancient Egypt, many semi-precious stones were believed to possess magical powers. Gold, which never lost its luster and seemed to reflect the power and glory of the sun, was regarded as a divine metal. DETAILS: 1.5 inches long, and is made of durable gold-plated pewter and genuine black onyx beads. PACKAGED: With an information card about the jewelry's inspiration, making it the perfect gift. OUR STANDARDS: We use genuine semi-precious stones, natural freshwater pearls and Austrian crystals. Most jewelry elements are composed of lead free, nickel free and cadmium free base metal plated with a nickel free 18k gold, antique gold, or silver finish. OVER 50 YEARS IN BUSINESS: Our artists recreate timeless designs from many remarkable art institutions to bring to the public what was once confined to museum walls. Each institution benefits directly from the sale of jewelry reproduced from their collections. We work closely with museums to create either an authentic reproduction or a piece inspired by their collections.
