Our metalworkers take great pride in their work, and the marks of both artists and craftsmen can be found in each design and on the back of every piece from jewelry to personalized ornaments.

We invite anyone to see this process for themselves with a free workshop tour during production hours at our Flagship location in Grove City, PA, or at our Amish Country store in Berlin, OH.
