The Aldriches, Valerie and Benny, were among the first to use gemstones for inlaying and revivied spiny oyster as a jewelry material some twenty years ago, using only the best natual gemstones and other traditional and recent materials. Valerie's creative and natural flair for color makes each piece of inlay she designs a work of art. Benny then frames the inlay with beautiful hand stamped silver or gold, and then it's hand polished to a perfect finish to create a one of a kind, original.
