~MISSION~
~~~~~~

I am the sole proprietor of this L.L.C. and from my company's inception, I have not as yet directly imported any merchandise,
I have personally selected each item in N.Y.C. from reputable wholesalers, who guarantee the authenticity of their products.
Rarely are multiple purchases of one item available.
However, some items may be reordered, as the .925 Sterling Silver Bead Necklaces, Bracelets and Earrings.

My intent is to sell quality jewelry at reasonable prices.
Prices may be negotiable on items that are not currently on sale. Please email me for an item's eligibility for a possible discount.

My website, http://www.marilysimports.com, was published on 8/08/05, where you will be able to view enlarged detailed photos, especially, suitable for the vision impaired.
Photos include Pins/Brooches, Pendants, Necklaces, Earrings, Rings, Link and Cuff Bracelets of either .925 Sterling Silver or Ethnic Tribal Jewelry.

Eventually, I will be including domestically crafted artisan jewelry and intend to include products from India and Turkey.
I have an appreciation for other cultures, and the intricate design elements of their tribal jewelry. Each piece is unique and a true art form, most are handmade.

~PRODUCTS~
~~~~~~~~

I am not directly importing products at this time.
All jewelry has been purchased through reputable wholesalers in New York City, who guarantee the authenticity of their products.
Most silver jewelry is stamped .925 Sterling, some jewelry with semiprecious gems and stones were purchased, per manufacturer/wholesaler,
from Tucson, Arizona, w/silver work completed in Indonesia and Thailand.
Necklaces are either from Italy, Mexico, Bali or Thailand.
Gems and stones include: purple amethyst, pink amethyst, green amethyst, pink amethyst, green quartz, lemon topaz, smokey topaz,
blue turquoise, green turquoise, malachite, black onyx, tourmaline, peridot, citrine, moonstones, red coral, sponge coral, Polish Baltic amber, fluorite, pearls, mabe pearls, carnelian, garnet, blue jade, green jade, jasper,
blue agate, pink agate, white agate, green agate, druzy, azurite, mother of pearl,
New Zealand paua abalone, rainbow abalone, black shell, cone shells.

The ethnic tribal jewelry is authentic Afghan Lapis Lazuli, metal is "gillit" a composition of brass, nickel, melted down coins, and some silver (not authenticated by this merchant),
and is made by Kuchi Waziri tribes of Afghanistan now residing in Pakistan.
Some pieces are used for bellydancing and some are suitable for day or evening wear.
Many chokers are stunning with contemporary or bohemian style clothing.

I have always enjoyed different cultures, and hope you, too, will become fascinated with ethnic tribal jewelry.

Indian and Turkish jewelry will also be included in the future.
