Welcome to the online presence of The Jewelry Café, located in Southbury, CT.
The Jewelry Café is a jewelry and accessories artist cooperative where the artists “rent share” and receive 80% of the retail price when their work is purchased. The artist gets a better deal, which means you get a better price on quality, original work. It's also nice to know that your payment goes directly to the artist that created it.
Over the last two years, we have been cultivating relationships with some of the region's top talent and are proud to represent more than 34 artisans who provide the full spectrum of mediums and disciplines available today. For example; Maureen Henriques of Pumpkin Hill Beads is not only a professional Lampwork artist, she is among the top bead makers in the country and has been featured in nearly every national jewelry and beading magazine on the market. Yvonne Irwin-Faus also makes her living selling her hand painted beads and acrylic components and has recently been seen at the prestigious "Artspace" Gallery at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Read more about the artists represented here in the "About Us" section, which provides a brief write up of each artist.
This website represents items in our Connecticut showroom, a unique collection of truly wonderful pieces of jewelry and wearable art. Imagine - you have at your fingertips a pool of artists who work in sterling silver, 2,000 year old "Roman Glass" excavated in Israel, "peyote stitch", dichroic glass, natural beach glass, enameling, hand marbled silk scarves, hand painted boxes, picture frames and mirrors, gemstones, dichroic glass & borosilicate glass beads for "charm" bracelets, copper, argentium and pearls of every kind and color.
We enjoy taking part in the trends of the moment as well as providing another voice to the chorus of sameness that permeates the modern retail experience.
Many of our clients who travel south for the Winter, have strongly urged us to provide a way for them to purchase from us while they are away from home. We are happy to offer our shopping program to clients old and new!!
We appreciate your visit to our site and hope you enjoy your stay enough to share us with your best friends!
