Have you ever passed an old iron gate and thought how beautiful it is? The Southern Gates collection at Thompson Jewelry brings those patterns to life. Every artwork is based on the hand-made ironwork of such cities as Charleston and Savannah. These patterns are composed mainly of fine sterling silver and resemble fine lace. They also pay tribute to the art of blacksmiths who lived many years ago and made heavy metal a work of art. This jewelry feels like a warm Southern welcome to you, whether you want a special gift or a treat for yourself.
