If you make jewelry this is a store that you will want to visit. They offer classes which cover a variety of jewelry making techniques. Their supplies-includiing Sterling Silver, 14kt gf wire and findings, various metal sheets, crystal, stones, settings, Bali SS, and tools is fairly comprehensive. If you want to pierce, solder, and cast - or just bend wire and string beads - they have the expertise and parts you need. If you are interested in making jewelry - but have never taken the plunge - they can help you get started. And they provide the right stuff for more experienced crafters also. If they don't have it, they will get it for you. Some internet suppliers will be cheaper for some items, but when you include shipping and handling the difference is not that large. (Sure I will buy a pound of SS wire online, but I go to these people for smaller purchases of raw materials, precious and semi-precious stones, and supplies.) Sometimes I visit the store just to look at the jewelry that their artisans have created. Most, if not all, of the pieces are spectacular. Simply spectacular. They rely upon good materials, good design, and good workmanship. Other stores may have "fancier," pieces, but no one has better pieces.
