Our bracelets and our jewelry line are made in our upstairs workroom. All of our precious metals and findings are purchased in the USA. Most of the bracelets are silver but we do offer 14 karat gold and gold-filled bracelets. Gold filled wire is made by heat and pressure bonding a thin layer of gold to a brass core. The value of gold-filled is greater than gold-plated because gold-filled has an actual layer of karat gold.

Our Master Craftsmen pewter line is also made from pewter that is purchased in the USA. Pewter is an alloy composed of at least 90% tin, with smaller amounts of other metals added, mostly copper and antimony. It may also be used as liquid metal to cast different forms such as handles or ornaments. Our cups, plates and bowls are spun on a lathe where flat circular disks of pewter are forced over a wood or metal chuck. Special tools are used to bend the pewter into the desired shape. Most of our pieces have our "MC" symbol stamped on them. Since 1985 we have designed a new angel ornament for our pewter ornament collection. This also includes a wide variety of animals.

Engraving is also offered on many of our pieces. This is especially popular since it personalizes a piece and makes it a memorable keepsake.
