Fifteen years ago, we started an antique shop in Littleton, MA, about 20 miles west of Boston. Since Judy loved Antiques and had a wonderful flair for decorating, that became our business strategy. We bought fine decorative antique furniture, accessories, lighting and art. With careful restoration, we brought them back to their original elegance. Targeting Boston’s 
upscale western suburbs that surrounded our shop, we set out not only to sell fine furniture and accessories to our customers, but also help them decorate their fine homes with it. Our business took off.

In her spare time, Judy started making jewelry while tending the store. She combined the antique jewelry pieces from estate sales with new components to create a one of a kind look. Customers would also bring in their fine heirloom jewelry to “modernize” it by adding new components.
Our customers loved the new pieces. Soon we had a flourishing jewelry business in our antique shop with dedicated repeat customers. We displayed and sold jewelry in our shop and also in an upscale shop on Charles Street in Boston.

For several years we have been consided downsizing and moving to Florida. We finally did it! The one part of our business that we felt we could take with us to Florida was the jewelry business. Judy has more time to make truly unique and wonderful jewelry and keep up with the latest fashion trends. Bob has the time to keep on top of business operations and customer support.
Our business plan is to work with a limited number of select resellers whose business would complement and benefit from having our jewelry.
