Silver Shoppe filled with holiday traditions
The holiday season is filled with many traditions, including trimming the Christmas tree, lighting the candles of the menorah, spending precious time with family and friends — and shopping for the perfect gift for that special person in your life. The Silver Shoppe provides a holiday shopping tradition that is unique to the Pottstown area. Silver garland and colorful Christmas balls decorate the store, and a tiny woodburning stove offers customers warmth from the wintry chill.
This year, continue the tradition by visiting The Silver Shoppe, where there is something special waiting for those on your holiday list.
For the entire year, owner Uwe Bauer, a silversmith since 1972, has been creating original designs with sterling silver and semi-precious stones. A collection of jewelry that is unique and distinctive to the Pottstown area now graces the shelves and showcases of his Sanatoga store. It is not difficult to find the perfect gift at The Silver Shoppe. Beautiful bracelets, rings, necklaces and earrings are all made from sterling silver and designed with exciting swirls, scrolls flowers and sleek lines designed to catch the eye.
The look can be either rich with ornamentation or fashionably plain.
One of Mr. Bauer’s favorite techniques is to drop molten pieces of silver into cold water and let the molten silver cool into a variety of unique and distinctive shapes, which are then used to create oneof-a-kind bracelets, necklaces, rings and earrings. The variety of shapes resulting from this process means that all the jewelry creations are one of a kind. Semi-precious stones add brilliant splashes of color to the jewelry. Bright turquoises, blood-red garnets, dark onyxes and lovely amethysts are among the many dif ferent stones available. There is a multitude of agates, from blue lace to leopard to green Botswana, each with its own unique look. There are also many pieces made with synthetic rubies, emeralds and sapphires and various colored topazes — for that expensive look at an affordable price.
