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

at anytime.
