Oyster Jewelry – Celebrate the Chesapeake NNK Style
Oyster Jewelry is a one-of-a-kind collection of earrings, bracelets, and necklaces, handcrafted from oyster shells I personally collect along the quiet shores of rural Virginia near the Chesapeake Bay. Each piece transforms shells shaped by the tides into wearable art, celebrating both the natural beauty of the oyster and the heritage of the Bay. No two designs are ever alike—every curve, color, and texture carries its own story, making your jewelry as unique as the waters it came from. | Oyster Jewelry I handcraft every piece of our jewelry with care, inspired by my heritage of the Chesapeake Bay and created to raise awareness for protecting your own watershed. No two pieces are alike—each is designed to celebrate the oyster’s natural beauty. Fine Silver – Cast from my original molds, capturing delicate oyster details in pure silver. Resin Designs – Infused with powdered oyster shells for a shimmering, textured effect. Freshwater Pearls – A tribute to our native oysters, which do not produce gem-quality pearls. Wire-Wrapped Shells – Genuine oyster shells showcased in distinctive, artistic settings. Every creation tells a story—of the Bay, its oysters, and the importance of preserving the waters they call home.
LEIGHTWORKS
David Leight’s artistic journey began in 1999 at Pilchuck Glass School, founded by Dale Chihuly, where he studied crystal shaping and polishing under Mark Taylor. Inspired by the brilliance of ice and crystal, he developed a prism-layered cutting technique designed to enhance light and create a signature glow from within. In 2004, David was commissioned to create a five-foot crystalline sculpture of the Google logo for co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page, a milestone that launched his career and inspired him to open his San Diego studio. Soon after, a single request to turn a custom paperweight into a pendant revealed his true calling—crystal jewelry. Now in his 26th year, David is the founder and creative force behind LeightWorks Crystal Jewelry™, an award-winning line recognized for its vibrant, color-changing glow and lasting craftsmanship. Each piece is hand-cut from fine optic glass, fused with precious metals to produce its prismatic effect, and set in waterproof stainless steel, sterling silver, or gold. Designed for durability, LeightWorks jewelry won’t scratch, fade, or tarnish and is made to withstand everyday wear—swim, sleep, work, or play. LeightWorks jewelry is sold nationwide in casinos, airports, museums, fine galleries, and gift shops, bringing David’s signature glow to collectors and everyday wearers alike. His designs continue to embody originality, elegance, and a timeless light that transforms with every movement.

Briarwood Lane Flag Company
At Briarwood Lane, we’re advocates for the independent retailer. In fact, we started out as one. Briarwood Lane was created in 2014 by Michael Brennan, a decorative flag retailer who saw an opportunity to empower independent retailers with better products, better pricing & unmatched customer service. With over ten years of retail experience selling decorative flags, we’ve learned a few things and know the industry inside & out. We understand the importance of quality, merchantability, and margins, and how those factors shape the day-to-day health of an independent retailer. With that in mind, we’re proud to be the first wholesale decorative flag manufacturer to require no order minimum & are happy to accept orders of any size. That same retailer-first mindset guides the products we create today. We craft premium home and garden décor with exclusive designs from American artists, giving retailers unique pieces that stand out on the shelf and bring warmth & joy to every home they reach.
