Margarette's Philosophy:

"Fine jewelry is a token of the love, appreciation and value we place on others and ourselves. Within every person is an intangible and indefinable beauty that the right jewelry, like a talisman, can indicate and enhance".

"When a person comes to me with an idea in mind, I welcome them to sit at our bistro style counter for a relaxing moment and offer them a glass of champagne or espresso ...then we talk".

"Listening to what people want is the key. Often they have a significant"Listening to what people want is the key. Often they have a significant story related to the piece they envision. Then, together we translate their desire into a gorgeous work of art (and meaningful jewelry)!"

"Black Pearls are so special, so significant.
They are warm, feminine, sexy and so luxurious.
They don't openly broadcast extravagance. Yet, they give a feeling of intimate indulgence".

"It gives me great satisfaction when a woman who has actually bought Black Pearls for herself leaves my store. I know she will feel wonderful about herself and will always wear them with a smile. What a great pleasure to share that with my clients! It is a blessing".
