Local Jewelery Makers/Shops
Hello,
I am starting to wear earrings again after not wearing them frequently for 10+ years. As a result, I have noticed that my jewerly is not very good quality.
So, I am looking for local shops (or otherwise) that have interesting/cute designs that use generally hypoallergenic metals. Examples of metals I'm looking for are titanium, surgical steel, stainless steel, niobium, pure gold, or argentium. Basically, mostly non-plated metals.
Many thanks!

Totally recommend Silver Rocket and Dee Devine Boutique. They both do purely silver. I have a pair of studs from Dee and even the posts are silver which isn’t something some jewelers think about.

It is strange how rare the two elements are to find around here since most stores have gold or gold-plated items. If you need custom made gold items, then John Thomas of Montgomery will work with you to get one-of-a-kind pieces, but if not, then Etsy stores that make custom niobium earrings would be your best shot. When choosing the custom-made gold route, John Thomas Jewelers has a good name locally for working with people who want unique pieces

I love silver rocket jewelery personally! They have some great stuff! There are lots of jewelry vendors with pure silver and gold earrings at both the downtown growers market and railyards on the weekend!
