Positioning Statement:
What I see too often in regards to accessories is a lack of quality and originality. Many branded designs are calibrated to exact specifications and assembled in mass production… the result being (1) everyone ends up wearing the same pieces and (2) that accommodating short lived trends takes priority over assuring quality. Even in regards to semiprecious and sterling craftsmanship most designer lines use only the most abundant and commonplace stones. So in our search to express ourselves as individuals where do we find jewelry that excels in quality, can vibe with our unique style(s), and is guaranteed to be one of a kind? |

San Damian COUTURE:
San Damian COUTURE blends only the most exotic semiprecious stones with fine sterling silver. Each piece is carefully handcrafted and thoughtfully set into the sterling design that best compliments its features. The semiprecious stones are procured from exotic lands that include Africa, Brazil, India, Indonesia, Peru, and Siberia. Each stone is carefully chosen, cut, and polished in a way that best renders its extraordinary quality and color. The singular production process that we use ensures that each San Damian piece will be as unique as the individual who wears it.
San Damian STREET (what is this made of?):
The amazing pieces used in San Damian STREET are each created using an arduous glass fusion process. Due to the materials and distinctive method that we use, the end product is a piece that is nearly impossible to break and that changes colors as the dichroic component bends and refracts light. Each piece exudes its own one-of-a-kind pattern and color shift... its own distinct personality if you will. |
