The Start of My Blog

I have been very fortunate to have traveled all over the world and I continue to do so.

I love fine art, photography, handmade and fair trade products, estate jewelry, and much more. In the last two years I have expanded my business in these areas, from making jewelry to traveling around the world buying fine items at affordable prices and being able to offer them at my gallery and on-line - which you can visit at http://www.designcenters.com/

Jewelry is something so personal to men and women and it has been used over the centuries for many reasons. When a person finds "the piece" they become one with it. Those are the pieces I strive to find, and those are the pieces I love. For example, my estate pieces are both exquisite and interesting. As I add their pictures to the website I hope you will be able to enjoy their workmanship, time periods and of course their classic looks.

One of the best things about finding new pieces for the gallery has been making great contacts and friends wherever I have gone. This blog will explore not only the areas I’ve been to and the items that I’ve been able to acquire for the gallery, but also the people behind the jewelry, arts and other products.

If you have been to the places I have gone hopefully you will be able to share your love of those cultures with me. If anyone has suggestions of places for me to visit or contacts in areas I could buy around the world let me know. You never know, I might just look you up.

Happy Reading,
Jamie
