Never Leave Empty Handed

Stuart Nye Jewelry

Stuart Nye Jewelry is some of the most original and popular jewelry sold today.  Since our beginnings in 1933, we have taken a great deal of pride in duplicating natures designs in beautiful handmade jewelry.  Working in sterling silver, copper, and brass we create over 1500 different pieces.  Jewelry of a quality that only a hand craftsman with a sense of pride in his work can produce, but we try to produce it at a modest price so that ordinary people can own and enjoy it.  This was Stuart Nye's goal.  This is still our goal today.​

Body & Soap Skincare

Body & Soap Skincare was born out of my personal journey as I started my search to find a natural skin care product for my sensitive skin. After years of experiments with various oils and herbs, I decided to commence the search to solve my continuing skin problems. This led to my discovery of cold process soap making or soap making from scratch. 
All my products are handcrafted in North Carolina using all natural ingredients. My products are scented with essential oils and natural fragrances. The dried flowers, tea leaves and herbs are carefully selected by me, I like to make beautiful and clean skincare products. My mission is to make skincare products just like nature intended.
