J. Alexander is a Texas company that designs metal home accents with a rustic feel. This German Silver (or Nickle Silver) footed box has a hinged lid, and is lined with black velvet inside. It measures aprox 4.25" x 3.25" x 2" high. The real turquoise stone on top will vary in size and shape, but is always a beautifully selected natural stone. The designers at J. Alexander Rustic Silver wanted to create a line of home accessories that resembled the Navajo stamp work of the early 1900’s. J. Alexander Silver products are crafted from German silver: an alloy containing nickel and copper. Each piece is hand made and hand finished. They have a substantial heft and feel solid in your hand. The finish is something we’re particularly proud of called “polished vintage”. These items look like they could have passed thru a trading post at some point in their past.
J. Alexander Rustic Silver items are made one at a time, by hand. Each piece is crafted from nickel silver and is hand tooled by artisans using techniques that have been around for generations. Each J. Alexander Silver piece will be slightly unique and has a finish that looks somewhat vintage. The turquoise we use is hand selected at our shop in Dallas and only the best stones make it onto our products. Our inspiration comes from the work of classic Navajo silversmiths from the late 19th and early 20th centuries and we hope our pieces honor that tradition. We also hope you enjoy whichever piece of J. Alexander Silver you choose to bring into your home. Handmade in the central highlands of Mexico. The work is done by one family and all tooling is done by hand.
