Joe Carl, founder and proprietor, has worked with jewelry since he was a teenager. Joe grew up in an historic home and as his parents hunted for antiques to furnish the house, he gravitated towards antique and estate jewelry as he frequented flea markets, yard and estate sales, etc. Joe feels that the material, gems and craftsmanship that were used to create vintage jewelry make each piece a work of art and each piece has a story to tell. These pieces are worth saving and finding new homes for so they can be loved, valued and passed on.
