Our story starts with an adventurous young Florida couple, Matt & Michelle.  Fresh out of college, they went in search of exceptional, inexpensive, and unique jewelry to bring to the US Market.  They found themselves traveling through Mexico and South America.  While traveling through a little village they met two sisters that would change their life.  These sisters were part of a wonderful family that have been crafting High Grade Alpaca Silver & Abalone Shell jewelry for generations.  

Matt & Michelle soon began selling wholesale and traveled the country for 10 years with incredible success.   When they decided to settle down and start a family in the mountains of North Carolina they opened a retail shop selling fine sterling silver jewelry along with the High Grade Alpaca Silver and Abalone Shell jewelry that had always been a source of success.  15 years later, they have 3 successful locations in North Carolina and South Carolina.  Over the years the High Grade Alpaca Silver & Abalone Shell jewelry has remained one of their most popular items.   

In the Winter of 2015, keeping true to their original goal of bringing exceptional, inexpensive and unique jewelry to the US Market, and after years of demand, Matt and Michelle have brought their great jewelry to the web.   Matt and Michelle have worked together with the same family to re-invigorate their great line of High Grade Alpaca Silver jewelry to include not just Abalone Shell, but Fossils, and Gemstones!  

So What Is Alpaca Silver Jewelry?

Alpaca Silver is comprised of Copper, and Zinc or Iron.  It was developed in 1823, during a contest between German and Autrian metalworkers who were tasked with creating the best quality "imitation" silver.   Alpaca Silver Jewelry is much more affordable that Sterling Silver Jewelry; a plus when shopping on a budget.  High Grade Alpaca Silver  has a Sterling Silver overlay does not stain and is hypoallergenic, making it ideal for those with Silver and Metal allergies.   With a little care, High Grade Alpaca Silver Jewelry will remain tarnish free, ensuring its wearer years of enjoyment!
