LCBM&G sells it's own designed and created
art-glass earrings, pins and pendants by wholesale purchase and through rental
space in gift stores. We also set up occasional, temporary kiosks located
at various art festivals and malls throughout the Northeast for retail
sales. We utilize, and are always looking for, sales representatives to do
personal contact business in their home region, wholesale and retail,
including the professional traveling salesperson as well as the more
limited, part-time event organizer. And of course, direct retail mail
order via the Internet is a growing part of our distribution. We invite
you to contact us and inquire as to how we may do some wholesale or retail
business together. LCBM&G began as a
wirework-only jewelry operation in 1985. Sterling
silver and 14K
gold filled wire were used to create fabricated
earrings, rings and bracelets in many different styles, some of which we
still make and sell at retail outlets today. As tastes in jewelry began to
shift toward more colorful and bright themes however, (and since silver and
gold tend to stay boringly consistent in color to work with!), we began to
incorporate the Sterling and gold into heat-fused glass designs in 1993.
Now, we use transparent, translucent, iridescent, opaque and
dichroic glass in our designs, and with the addition of precious metals,
beautiful jewelry pieces are rendered that will last the wearer a lifetime.
LCBM&G is truly a cottage industry. We even own a cottage. We live and work
on the same premises, and all members of the household participate. (Check
out our
Staff.) All metal and glass materials begin in wire,
sheet or rod form, and then are cut, worked and assembled by us, in-house,
which enables us to have as much control over all design and production
features as the raw materials allow. The finished jewelry is annealed
after production to assure lifetime durability. Our glass pieces are
really a series of individually made creations, and when we find a style
and color combination that work well, we duplicate it as closely as
possible in construction in subsequent batches. This way, we can offer
handmade, originally crafted designs in larger amounts, but with each
piece retaining it's own unique look within the boundaries of it's design
parameters. There are still some oddities that come from this method,
though. We deal with them as best we can, sometimes to the profit of
certain customers. Simply e-mail us, call or send a fax. Tell us what you
are interested in. You can request an item as you see it on these pages,
but these items are only a guide to our ever-changing line. If you have
wholesale or sales representative inquiries, please send your message
anytime. If you are a store owner or a buyer for a store and would like to
make our merchandise a part of your store's regular inventory, please
inquire. Or, if you would like to trade favorite
animal stories, that's good too! But for whatever reason you write,
you will find our jewelry line to be quality merchandise in both materials
and workmanship that you and your customers will enjoy. All items are
fully guaranteed or returnable. The
only metals used are Sterling silver,
(.925), or 14K gold filled, including ear
wires and all bead accents. We never use nickel
or any plated metals. We utilize about ten different transparent
colors of glass in our designs, which represent
most of the major colors in the spectrum, and around ten dichroic colors. Many of our pieces, when viewed
under differing kinds of light, will reflect a different color variation,
and can lend themselves to the color of the clothing with which they are
worn. For more on this, see the Dichroics
page. Use any of the contact methods you see below for a quick response. I
look forward to communicating with you!
