hardware & hooks. All rustic furniture is made from early 1900's

STEWART
NYE JEWELRY. In the depths of the
depression, Stuart Nye bought some second hand tools and a little silver.
Without any experience in jewelry or metal work,  but
with good taste, an eye for beauty and faith in himself, he began to make
a few simple bangle bracelets. Through trial and error he learned
the nature of his materials and began to fashion silver into the leaves
and flowers so characteristic of our jewelry today. We are really
producing works of art. Jewelry of a quality that only a hand
craftsman with a sense of pride in his work can produce, but we try to
produce it at a modest price so that ordinary people can own and enjoy it.
