Glossary

I admit flat out that I am a gemstone jewelry junkie. Off-the-shelf, manufactured jewelry doesn't satisfy me any more, and I "need" to create custom jewelry at least a few times a year. Joseph Jewelry is my favorite shop. Even if I am not shopping (but always looking), I love stopping in and chatting with Danny, his brother Joseph, and sweet Pascale, plus Ryan and Bonnie. They are terrific, know their stuff, and are always showing me something new. Lately, they have special events like a visiting fancy gemstone cutter who shares her collection of unique stones. I have had antique jewelry remade into new pieces, new pieces created from their designs, and new pieces from a few designs that I have mashed together. Their work always delights me and I will return (again and and again.)
