Hi! Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is John Basko. I have been restoring antique jewelry for over 20 years. From the mid 1970’s to the mid 1980's. I was a contracted craftsman who worked with 56 different accounts.
The extreme stress and pressure lead me to go out on my own in 1986. My wife Debbie facets gemstones, as well as performs lapidary work. Our son, Adonis, has been doing lapidary work for 18 years. We are very skilled at what we do, as well as being quite knowledgeable on antique jewelry. We can spot a reproduction or "antique-like" jewlery from a mile away. "Reproductions are reproductions." We only offer authentic pieces at a reasonable price.
Our hand set marcasite pieces are classic and restored to display the original craftsmanship of the 1930’s. Most marcasite pieces found on the Internet are glued instead of being handset.
These antique reproductions are cheap and turned out by the dozens. So if you are looking for true quality you've come to the right place.We reside on the boarder of Royal Oak & Berkley in Michigan. If you have questions about any of our merchandise feel free to call us at 248-288-0428 from 8:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time 7 days a week. You may also contact us via Email at slvrwksantiques@comcast.net or silverworksantiques@yahoo.com at anytime.
