History Meets Handcrafted: Jewelry Pop-Up Shop

Women-owned | Family Business

Anne Koplik had been designing and creating heirloom quality jewelry since 1981. Anne was an artist and Interior Designer before she started making jewelry. She used her love of art history and antiques to create designs that are classic yet made for the contemporary woman…the heirlooms of tomorrow. Today our team of skilled American artisans carries on handcrafting vintage inspired jewelry with brilliant crystals. Each piece of jewelry is created for women who want to experience beautiful antique-inspired designs and have them for their own, at an attainable price. Today we remain a women-owned, family-run company…the “little engine that could”.

Anne’s mother, Sally, had been a millinery designer during the 1920’s. She was the perfect resource for Anne, and she encouraged her to go to 37th Street in NYC to find jewelry supplies. It was in one of those bead houses on 37th Street where she picked up her first pair of rosary pliers. She didn’t have to be taught how to use them, she instinctively knew. From there she purchased her first glass beads, chain and findings, then went to her Long Island home to craft a dozen necklace and earring sets on her dining room table. Anne’s sister, Ilene, offered those very first pieces in her Cedarhurst, NY boutique. In no time, it was clear how much her designs were adored, because in 3 days every piece was sold…and Anne soon thereafter found herself in the middle of the fashion jewelry industry.
