In 2008 my husband Alfonzo and I, were introduced to the art of the Native American Silversmiths from the American Southwest. Our passion for Native American Jewelry started at a discouraging time in our lives, when we were closing our previous stores. We were  in our store in Hanover Park. Illinois, when a customer who  lived in Streamwood Illinois, came in the store with a couple of fine, authentic, high quality Native American pieces that she needed to sell,  to help her ailing mother. When she saw how much we  loved those first pieces,  she continued bringing  us more pieces,  that we bought from her.  That began our incredible appreciation and curiosity about Native American Jewelry.  We closed that store and began a new adventure traveling in search of Native American artists.  Our collection and love for this art grew and grew, as we acquired more knowledge about this rich and vast culture.

We were and still are captivated  by the beauty and intricate work of each piece.  Throughout these past years Alfonzo, who already had been an artist in his own right, with vast knowledge and creativity in jewelry making,  was so influenced by the Native American culture, that he has dedicated his time to studying this art and learning to create pieces of his own taste and design resulting in making his own fine, quality one of a kind jewelry.
