This is one of two locations of this jewelry store. The second location opened on April 28 th at Ross Park Mall. They specialize in bangle style bracelets made out of recycled materials and for the most part made of brass. Each charm represents a center set of moods or items that represent your psyche. They also sell various symbol bracelets and I was impressed with some of the religious enamels they had in their collection.
In addition to bangle bracelets they carry necklaces and even have a copper collection taken from the Statue of Liberty. Some of the bracelets sold are used for charitable purposes. I found a few of them quiet pretty but hard to look at. They also feature a "limited edition" bracelet each month and of course they have some items themed for Mother's day as well. They also sell necklaces, adjustable rings, candles and even a fragrance scent.
I worked with one of the bangles and was having a bit of a difficult time adjusting it to fit my wrist properly. Apparently you can adjust it to make it tighter but once you open it then it will spring back to its original form and you have to start the process over again.
Since the charm and two small accessory pieces dangle from your wrist you know they will always be hanging down and I found the weight of the thin wire around the top a bit uncomfortable. I'm only saying that for me. People love to use these bracelets for stacking.
Be aware of the fact that their jewelry requires maintenance and for that reason they selling a polishing cloth for $6.00. I have sterling silver jewelry and I have several polishing cloths. Believe me you have to work at that to even get it looking halfway decent from the tarnish. The staff is friendly and tell you how to store it but if you want it looking good then you must clean it weekly.
Since the jewelry is adjustable it can be worn by all ages. There are also other stores around the city that carry their merchandise but if you wish to see the full line then you need to come to one of these stores or order online. Located in the Shadyside business district you usually have pay parking but sometimes you can grab a spot on Howe St nearby if you only plan to stay in this area a short time.
