McKenzie’s Gold ‘n Jewels
I come from a long line of family jeweler’s ca 1943.  Each piece I sell whether Vintage Estate, Trendy pieces from wholesalers, or my own Creations, they are special to me.  I have a wide selection of many pieces that are from all kinds of different Cultures that are rich with history for 1,000s of years.  I know WOW huh!  Each piece radiates these amazing personalities whether new or vintage.  I hope my customers will enjoy their treasure & wear it with pride & confidence that the best jewelry components & one-of-a-kind gemstones are adorning their beautiful bodies.

• Here at ~MGJ~ we sell primarily three types of jewelry and on occasion miscellaneous items:
• I research what my wholesaler’s newest trends are for the changing seasons & purchase some of their inventory we call “finished goods” (already made jewelry pieces).
• Next several times a year I go out to Estate Sales & if I’m lucky I come across some really pretty “Vintage Estate” pieces that are a very good value & what I consider very well-made from multiple eras, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, etc.  On occasion I may sell a fun costume piece I find on my Estate Sale searches; or on occasion I make some unusual jewelry that may not be solid gold or silver but has a genuine focal Gemstone - those pieces are always disclosed as not solid gold or silver. 
• Then there is my Workshop here on South Padre Island, TX where I design my own creations.  I “never” make the exact same piece twice.  I’m just not a fan of seeing ladies wearing all the “SAME IDENTICAL PIECES” from the popular designer-of-the-moment.
• First, I use “precious metals (gold or silver)”; rarely use anything else.  You may see in some listings that Sterling Silver has a Gold "Overlay".  It is still precious metal over precious metal.
• Second, I am a big believer in nature’s lovely bounty of glorious Gemstones available in every color imaginable. There are just so many & I like working with them all while trying to keep prices reasonable for my customers.  I put a great deal of thought & creativeness in my designs.  Sometimes it takes a while in the designing process before I am satisfied that my pieces are impressive, unique, & affordable considering the overwhelming competitive jewelry market.  I’m all about the color, different textures & nature’s richness of exquisite, stunning, awe inspiring, dazzling magnificence that natural Gemstones provide, organic or mineral!  You get the picture, I like to mix ‘em up! 
• Thank you for looking at our store & we would appreciate it if you would come back any time as I am making unique pieces weekly.
