Our coffee is fair-trade and roasted fresh for us right before delivery. You will also find a nice assortment of organic teas and gourmet treats. 

It is not required for you to have any prior experience in designing and making jewelry before coming in. We are here to help you, guide you, and act as your mechanics as we assist you in configuring fabulous pieces of jewelry derived from your inner artist. You have complete freedom of expression. There are no rules when it comes to making jewelry, whatever you feel looks good together... does. If you get stuck, we will make suggestions all day or point you in the direction of books and examples that you can draw inspiration from. 

If making something yourself is not your cup of tea, we have a large selection of hand-made jewelry and gift items that we, along with various other artists have created. Not to mention, we custom make jewelry all the time. So, do you have an outfit that you are looking to complement with a pair of earrings or a necklace? Bring it on in, or send pictures to us via e-mail. Is there a design stuck in your head that you want to bring to life? Let us hear it, and we will work with you to help you do just that. Aside from classes and workshops, we can also cater to parties and weddings. Just let us know the details and we can set aside time and space to give you the attention you need and let your creative minds have at it. 

We are a destination that longs to inspire, teach, and enrich your lives with the art form of jewelry design.
