Amy Garbes, Silversmith...

...a local artisan, now has her beautiful sterling silver pieces at Port Penn Peddler!

Amy's pieces range from elegantly simple to strikingly bold. They exemplify her creative nature and her awareness of jewelry as a complement to any fashion style. Match her more delicate pieces with a bright, color-block dress or traditional business suit. Wear one of her more elaborate necklaces with a classic little black dress.

Whatever your style, Amy has unique, hand-crafted earrings, necklaces, and bracelets just for you.
