Grainger McKoy Jewelry and Sculptures: Not Just for the Birds!

Grainger McKoy has a passion for the "pursuit of the flight of birds in wood." For a quarter century McKoy has been masterfully carving bird sculptures out of wood. Recently he opened up a whole new territory, he started using his wood carvings into bronze casts in which he poured gold and silver into. This discovery also moved him into the realm of wearable sculptures, or jewelry. Like his sculpture, the "jewelry design is of or about a bird, and starts with a piece of wood and a sharp blade."

The jewelry line, which started as a Christmas Gift for Mckoy's wife, has flourished. Now woman can purchase earrings, necklaces, pendants, and bracelets in Gold or Sterling Silver fashioned from feathers, quails, and other birdly inspirations. The Recovery Stroke Earrings were made upon a customer's request for a gift to give on the 10th anniversary of their wife surviving cancer, these earrings are based on a 12-foot tall Recovery Stroke Sculpture for Swan Lake Gardens in Sumter, South Carolina.

Men can enjoy cufflinks, money clips, rings, and lapel pins. This is the perfect Christmas gift for the avid hunter and bird lover. The Quail cufflink and stud set are their best sellers.

Sallie home is pleased to announced that we are now one of the lucky retail stores that is privileged enough to sell Grainger McKoy. Grainger McKoy will be at Sallie home in St. Louis, MO, November 18th, 2010 to debut his entire line, gold and silver.

Victoria & Richard Jewelry, sooo hot right now

Since Victoria & Richard started making jewelry, it has been a hot commodity. In particular, the Glass Menagerie jewelry collection made of a variety of colorful beaded animals. The Glass Menagerie has taken the spot light over on all their other jewelry collections, but those other collections are just as exquisite.

The Haberdashery necklace, bracelet, and earrings are filled with color and texture. The glass beads that separate each tassel are unique and wonderful. The Sparkling Grape collection is created with beautifully cut crystal spacers and each bunch of grapes is made with many colorful glass beads. This collection is also accented with ribbon or bows or both, adding a special touch. The Poppy Cock, March Fourth and Ribbit are all fabulous; the Poppy Cock necklace is full of roosters and the March Fourth is full of penguins, and the Ribbit is hopping with frogs. All of Victoria and Richard jewelry is wonderful and will make any outfit special.
