I describe this local jeweler are amazing--- The pieces are so different from any others I have ever seen-- you might even call some of the eccentric. If you're looking for the norm "diamonds", silver or gold chains--- this is not for you-

This is the original handcrafted jewelry of Elizabeth R Agte.... Elizabeth is located in Rochester, NY... but you order online or by a mail catalog.
I happened upon a piece of her jewelry and was given a business card... I went online and let me tell you I was totally impressed.
I personally have ordered the beach glass jewelry.. This is so neat-- It is pieces found at Ontario Lake, NY... Elizabeth states that she does not alter the size or color and makes rings ($100), earrings ($75), necklaces ($600), and bracelets ($150) from these treasures found right here in NY. I do not have one of each as it is a bit expensive--- but the quality and uniqueness is so worth the price.
They take payments by check, credit card, they even accept paypal online!
If you are looking for something different --- come and take a look.... Some of the items are certainly not my taste but I know someone would love them!
Elizabeth also accepts returns and does repairs. Most orders take approx. 4 weeks! She makes what you order.
Truly a wonderful different jeweler!
