I went into this very attractive shop that sells the jewelry of many local artists. I asked if any…read moreof the jewelry was nickel free, and she said ,"it's all nickel free! I only sell items that are nickel free. Do you honestly know of anyone who buys jewelry with nickel in it these days?" Well, yes I do. Nickel free is still the exception at larger stores and there's nowhere in her store that claims the jewelry is nickel free. I walked out quickly and will never be back.

One-One Thousand is a new start-up centered around a community for makers of handmade craft's and…read moregoods. The shop/space in Madison houses about 10 or so artisans who work tirelessly honing their skills. One One Thousand offers various classes to the public where these artisans teach others their craft. From quilting to wood carving there is a class that could interest just about anyone. These creative workshops are the center of what One One Thousand is all about. The concept of such self motivated craftsmanship is a rarity these days. In a world of big box stores ruling the world, or at least America, getting back to the roots of doing it yourself is a breathe of fresh air. The space is big and bright and there is so much to look at around every corner. All the goods are displayed and available for purchase in the space as well. The variety of merchandise One One Thousand has to offer is phenomenal and the quality of craftsmanship is second to none. Whenever we are in Madison it's a must to stop by and see what's going on there.

Blue Bar Quilts has a somewhat different selection than other quilt shops. They have a nice, and…read morereasonably priced offering of wool felt, some sashiko threads, and unique mending books. The select of bag-making supplies and patterns is small but unique. There wasn't much in the way traditional fabric and nothing at all faith-based (except for Halloween-type). The classroom looked open and had a large class going. The shop was very crowded, with bolts and displays very close together. It made it a little challenging to shop. The central cutting table made it difficult for staff to greet shoppers. One clerk did ask me if I was finding what I needed when she was out from the counter. I was visiting WI from a different state, and I wouldn't make a return trip to Blue Bar next time, but I can see how someone local might shop there.

They took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, offered me a lot of useful advice during the design process, and made my vision come to life. Their level of workmanship and attention to detail is impressive; the result looks beautiful and luxurious. The whole experience was absolutely flawless, transparent, and professional. If you seek quality, personalized jewelry, I would highly recommend Jewelers Workshop.

When she said she would make leaves out of the white gold, I trusted her confidence even though I couldn't imagine how she would do it. They're so delicate and catch the light like gemstones....adding to the sparkle. Thanks to her artistry it went beyond my expectations. I wanted a ring that was a reminder of what my marriage means....from the hint of a heart shape for love to organic sense of growth....it was all there in a small piece of wearable art. AND the topper, Jeweler's Workshop found the alexandrite stone I wanted to add to the ring. A stone energetically about change and joy. They found several for me to choose from. I will definitely be back to JW and Jackie. They listen, they create and they dream with you. Had to include some pics so you can see for yourself. The modeling one is for proportion....I'm not a hand model. LOL
