Fabulous jewelry, advice and gift-wrapping - offered in Orleans and Wellfleet. If you prefer to shop online, let us know if you'd like it wrapped as a gift.

Last minute shoppers, please note that the Orleans gallery is open from 10 to 5 on Valentine's Day. We can keep a secret, no matter when you shop.

nostalgia, and some Ben Accorso beauties

We used to photograph our jewelry by laying it on the scanner and draping a background over it. And when we tried to photograph it, we couldn't figure out why everything came out blurry (hint: no macro lens). Thank you for your patience as our technical skill catches up with the technical skill of our jewelers.

(a scanner! eeeeep!)

Tom Kruskal in sterling

Hey all you wearers of silver, Tom Kruskal is now your man. He's making a few of his trademark pieces in sterling and they look fantastic. For those of us who don't wear gold or would like to not pay gold prices, this is a happy day.

Available in Wellfleet. Come see!

David Urso

When all else fails, wear fabulous jewelry. In fact, do it anyway.

Jody Craven

If you attend Nauset Regional High School, and you have an interest in metals, Jody Craven would be your teacher.

Can you imagine how cool that would be?

Sally Craig

You could show up at your holiday office party wearing your bathrobe if you were wearing these Sally Craig earrings with it. We're not suggesting that you should, mind you, but they are that gorgeous.

Swallow

What has everyone been looking at lately in Wellfleet? These rings by Swallow.

Todd Reed

"It started as a way to question society about the idea of perceived value. In particular how value and perceived value relate to ideas of beauty or perfection that have become norms of society.

There are certain ad campaigns, such as, "She'll like you at a half carat, but she'll love you at a carat.", that prompted me to make this line of jewelry. This would be a line of jewelry that really did use the most perfect diamond in the world, the actual raw diamond. Uncut. Unpolished. Natural, perfect geometry. That was around 1994 when this idea really started to take off.

I am a self-taught goldsmith and metalsmith, and very much enjoy the hard work that goes into each piece. I have been extremely fortunate in that my work has won many international awards, and is frequently included in books, trade publications, and consumer magazines. My work can be seen at the finest shows and exhibitions in galleries and museums around the world. My work continues to grow as I grow, and I am still inspired by most everything. Beauty and nature are endless inspiration." - Todd Reed

Jody Craven

A high school boy came in to see Jody Craven's work today. He has taken Jody's art metal and jewelry classes at Nauset High School and is planning an independent for the fall.

Lucky bugger.

Kathleen Masterson

Is it even possible to walk on the beach and not pick up a stone or two? There's something about them that makes you want to take the home with you. Especially if you're Kathleen Masterson.

Kathleen Masterson (aka KEM Design) makes jewelry out of the beach stones she picks up - earrings, bracelets, necklaces and some clever badge holders that can also be used as eyeglass keepers. You can see them on our website, or drop by the gallery so you can check them out in person!

And while you're browsing the web, be sure to read Stephanie Foster's terrific article about Kathleen Masterson in the Cape Codder!

Christina Goodman

Freshly posted: a whole new collection of Christina Goodman jewelry!

Christina Goodman on "Flight"

Christina Goodman's brooches, pendants and earrings are miniature paintings reminiscent of Renaissance artwork. Most of these miniatures are landscapes influenced by Giovanni Bellini, Lorenzo Lotto, Dosso Dossi and Jan Van Eyck, but over the last few years she has begun watching birds from her studio near the San Francisco Bay and is now incorporating them into her work.

Christina was born in Pisa, Italy, to American parents. She grew up near Washington D.C. and New Orleans, attended Colorado College, and received a studio art degree from the University of California at Santa Cruz. Christina later moved to New York where she studied fashion design at Parsons School of Design and worked for several years as a decorative artist specializing in gilding and painted finishes.

Christina began her design business in 1990. Her knowledge of decorative art and her passion for Renaissance painting merged into the creation of her own line of hand painted miniatures and jewelry. She continues to study and utilize 14th - 16th century gilding and painting techniques, as well as Renaissance frame design.

Collections from both Orleans and Wellfleet galleries are shown on our website.

Sarah Graham

The San Francisco Chronicle had a great article on Sarah Graham on the front page of the style section last week.

By hosting several people at her studio while she made a new piece, she raised $6,800 for a non-profit organization which provides microcredit to women in Mexico and Guatemala.
