Mary James Jewelry Designs is such a unique twist to beautiful jewelry!
Tomorrow and Wednesday from 10am – 6pm, Mary, from Mary James Jewelry Designs, will be at Barbara/Jean with her inspiring, thoughtful, one-of-a-kind jewelry. Here’s Mary’s story behind this enlightening collection…
“A few years ago I found my father’s WWII medals and researched their meaning. I discovered the
amazing history and beauty of antique medals and watch fobs. I began incorporating them into my
designs and the response from my clients was so positive that I began working almost exclusively in
this area.
The medals are original, and include those awarded for military service, sporting events, civil service,
merit awards, and religious medals and crosses. Most of our medals, watch fobs, and vestas (match
safes) date back to the 1800’s and early 1900′s. My work with military medals is a tribute to those to
whom the medals were awarded. May the memory of their service be kept alive with awareness and
appreciation of the rights and freedoms we enjoy today. The name of my company is a tribute to my father, James, for his inspiration and encouragement.” ~Mary Wallace
