Aylee & Co.

I was fortunate to be gifted with a piece of Aylee’s jewelry for Christmas (opened early since my four year old couldn’t wait for mommy to see it). It’s a small four pearl charm piece that fits on my locket chain. My husband had purchased my locket many years after my daughter had been born and now that we’re expecting our second child, he found the perfect way to make one of my favorite pieces of jewelry memorable for the next step in our life (the charm has three pearls on the bottom and one on top).
Aylee’s jewelry is gorgeous, I’ve never seen such beautiful pearls and such sweet symbolism. The packaging was tastefully done as well and my husband mentioned what a great shopping experience it was with our four year old (I believe it was the owner’s mother who assisted my husband with his purchase and she was really kind to our tempetuous four year old).

I have purchased a number of additional pieces from Aylee and they are all fabulous. Ever since I discovered Aylee and her creations, I seldom buy jewelry elsewhere. Recently, my father gave me some pieces of turquoise and silver jewelry crafted many, many years ago by Native American artists in the Southwest. I decided to take one of the pieces, a necklace with silver beads and disks as well as a beautiful turquoise nugget, and transform it into a piece of jewelry I could wear and remember my father by. I handed it to Aylee with complete trust that the transformation would result in something I would love. The creation far exceeded my expectations. The melding of old and new works perfectly.
It is always such a delight to visit her shop and be surrounded by beautiful things in such a friendly atmosphere. I am free to play, trying on this and that, with not a hint of pressure to buy. Be forewarned though — this stuff is hard to resist!

I have to admit that I don’t wear any of Aylee’s jewelry. I have purchased several pieces for my wife though. I once dabbled in jewelry making — silversmithing and lapidary. I didn’t create anything like the intricate, finely detailed works you will see in this shop, but my experience left me with an eye for semi-​precious stones as well as for pleasing designs. My eye (both of them, actually) is happy when I peruse her creations on display. How she does some of it is beyond my ability to comprehend, but I’m glad she does. I’ve watched shoppers here enough to know that many of Aylee’s designs provide a lot of flexibility. I may not use the proper terms here, but with a given necklace you can choose from a number of attachments/​pendants/​baubles designed to go with it, allowing you to change your mood from day to day. Hope that makes sense. Just stop in and check it out and you’ll see what I’m trying to say.
Aylee is a very congenial business owner and a pleasure to be around.
