A recent mutual agreement between Calumet’s Famous Gift Shop, Copper World and Snob Appeal Jewelry will expand Copper World‘s exclusive line of our jewelry products. Copper World has always represented our line of Michigan Pendants prominently and have decided to double the number of pendants that they have on hand. You should always be able to find nearly fifty of our pendants available, and Copper World can arrange for me to make you a special pendant from stones that you find or most any other gemstone you would like.
Snob Appeal Jewelry has always felt that the best way to select one of our pieces is to see it in person, try it on, ‘FEEL’ how it fits your style and personnality. Selection is important, and comparing selections is easier if you have more to choose from. Our website has almost 800 pieces of jewelry on it, and represents the jewelry well, but there is something about seeing a pendant in person, letting it “talk” to you, as I often say, that just enhances the selection process. Our website has very accurate photos of our jewelry, but I have to give up much of the shine of the gemstones for detail. Holding a piece of our jewelry allows for a full experience with the beauty and aura of it.
Copper World is a perfect fit for our Michigan jewelry. Tony and Tim Bausano are lifelong residents of Calumet and have hunted the rock piles in the Keweenaw area themselves. They are very knowledgable about my pendants, the rocks that are in them, and all the products that they sell. I think that it is important to know the details of any gemstone you buy so you can tell others about it. You can shop on Copper World‘s website and see our pendants when you click on “Jewelry” on their home page then “Pendants by Don Reed” .
This gift shop is class all the way. They feature many exceptional one of a kind items created by local (not foreign) crafts people. You can purchase anything from Stormy Kromer Products, to hand warming cups, to rocks with your name engraved in it! I especially like the “Yooper” postcards. The chutney is great too.
I am very pleased with our partnership and the way our high-end jewelry is displayed and handled at Copper World. Our items are the same prices at Copper World as they are on our website and at the art shows we attend, making them exceptional bargains.
I have enjoyed, and will continue to enjoy, making personal appearances at Copper World in 2012 where I create Snob Appeal Jewelry in person. The Keweenaw is one of our favorite destinations and should be on your list also. When you go there make sure to see the folks at Copper World for a piece of Snob Appeal Jewelry (and some Thimbleberry jam).
