About Me

Welcome to Mary Amalia Jewelry. We design and hand fabricate jewelry in house and sell in our store located at 148 High St. ************************************************************ ************************************************************ ** Our designs run the gamut from funky chunky silver rings to more delicate gold earrings and necklaces. Prices also range from very affordable to, well, very affordable (if you're Paris Hilton!). ************************************************************ ************************************************************ ****Mary Amalia enjoys using both color and interesting materials in her work. For instance, the "ECO-WEAR" line of recycled rubber tire bracelets and necklaces is quite unique. She has also worked with colored resins, plastics, beads, paper, and other found objects to achieve a uniquely Mary Amalia look. Once you own her work, you'll want more. Mary Amalia has many customers who collect her work which is constantly evolving......so it's fun to stop in the store every few months to see what's new.Mary Amalia also enjoys shadowing the hot trends. Chances are that if you saw something hot on your fave celeb, you'll see something similar at Mary Amalia.
