Silver Shoppe a longtime Pottstown-area tradition
Each family has its own Mother’s Day traditions. Sunday services, brunch and special family time are all part of the tradition, and each mother in the family will receive a gift, whether it be flowers, candy or some other special thing.
As families expand, there are many mothers who must be included ... your own mother, mother of your children, mother of your grandchildren and on and on.
Shopping for the perfect gift for the many mothers
in your family should include a visit to The Silver Shoppe. The Silver Shoppe has long been a tradition for many families when they are considering their Mother’s Day gifts.
They know the gift they choose will be special as the Silver Shoppe is unique to the Pottstown area. Stained glass and plants decorate the store, and a wood-burning stove dominates in one corner of the shop, delighting the eye.
This Mother’s Day, continue the tradition by visiting the Silver Shoppe, where you will find that
special something for your special mother.
Uwe Bauer, the silversmith, has been creating original designs in sterling silver and with a variety of semi-precious stones.
A collection of jewelry that is distinctive to the Pottstown area now graces the shelves and showcases of his store located at 2452 E. High St., Lower Pottsgrove Township.
It is not at all 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 and simple.
One of 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 one-of-akind bracelets, necklaces, rings and earrings.
The variety of shapes resulting from this process
means that all 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 different stones available.
There is a multitude of colorful and variegated agates available, from Blue Lace Agate to Leopard to Green Botswana Agate, each with its own unique character.
There are also many pieces made with synthetic semi-precious stones such as synthetic rubies, emeralds, sapphires and various colored topazes for that expensive look at an affordable price.
