Into the West

The Irish are famous for their love of horses- although it was a social commentary, Into the West featured a wonderful horse in the movie.  So I am celebrating March and horses this week with our Bit O' Brass running mustangs and Prancing Pony charms.  The Brass mustangs are stampings so one sided, they are great for charms, pendants and design elements.  The prancing ponies are charms, lead free pewter plated with 22K gold from our friends at TierraCast.  As usual, I search to find companies that manufacture here in the USA, sometimes we have no choice, so I look for Quality merchandise from family owned companies that distribute or supply the materials I need that are owned and operated in the United States.  Most of my suppliers are family owned business that have been in the jewelry supply business for over 50 years.  Some are relatively new companies, 15 years or so. My Silver and gold mill products, wire, sheet and casting comes from a company here in the United States that recycles-so NO NEW MINING! Great for our environment and keeping our friends in the East employed.  So pop over to my Etsy site to see whats nes, here art the pictures of the mustangs!
