This Post is actually one of our Pages and is the Cornerstone of our Creations. When we first began, our pieces were for our own personal use. After we became aware of people desiring high quality products, we consulted the Doctors. We were astounded at what we learned regarding the historic medicinal uses of Silver and how important it was in Ancient Cultures. Here are a few things we learned and that are as relevant today as they were thousands of years ago.
