International Crystal Co., Inc., has been designing and manufacturing sterling silver pendants & earrings with semi precious stones & crystal points since 1988. International Crystal was created by Robert Akrish & Michael Leach. They got International Crystal going at the Tucson Gem & Mineral Club Show and the International Gems & Jewelry Show circuit. They also sold at Gem Faires, the Seattle Gift Show, Quartzsite and many rock club shows. International Crystal was the subject of a Lapidary Journal article and was featured on the cover of New Age Retailer. In 1993, Michael swore off the show circuit and went strictly mail order wholesale to stores, distributors and wholesellers. Robert's business is based in Seattle. He travels extensively, looking for new sources, and brokers jewelry, rough material and stones.
Almost all (apx 90 %) the designs you see are copyrighted by International Crystal, and were designed by Michael in conjunction with our staff wax designer. These items are all made in the USA. We are very proud to keep the assembly in America. The faceted stone jewelry is from India. We will be adding items from S. Korea, Thailand, India and Indonesia, but our focus will remain on the core line of our own designs.. |
