For those who live in and around Brewster, N.Y., the Anne Koplik showroom sales on Main Street are nothing new. I doubt there is anyone in the area who doesn’t own at least one piece of this handcrafted jewelry. I have a few, and apologies, my photo doesn’t do it justice, but does prove I’ve been a big fan over the years. Go to the website for a good look, or better yet, the shop.
Not only is it unique in style, but at the showroom sale, the prices are 75% less than regular retail. These are statement pieces. Earrings, necklaces, brooches, bracelets, rings, in all kinds of fantastical and natural designs. Flowers, animals, insects, geometrics, vintage, crystals, lots of sparkle. If you’ve never been, it’s quite amazing.
Many of the pieces are often seen on “Dancing with the Stars.” Check the website for more, including the business history and cute video from the owners.
Here’s the news: the sale has started.
This jewelry is handcrafted here in the USA. It’s a women-owned, family business that stared in 1981. You can expect to see scarves and other accessories in addition to jewelry. Prices range from something like $10 on up. Way up.
The pieces are truly unusual and make a great gift for you or anyone on your list, especially with holidays coming. (I am not being paid in any way to promote this.)
A screenshot of the schedule in the email I received follows. Weekends only. Get on the email list; I don’t otherwise see much advertising or publicity.
If you bring an item for the “United For Troops Drop Off Center” at the showroom, you will be entered to win a $100 Anne Koplik gift certificate raffle. Go to this website for info on the wish list items.
173 Main St., Brewster village, near the Route 22 intersection. Parking is usually tight in front of the building, but there is space behind the building, too.
You could take the train from NYC; it’s not a huge walk, but wear comfortable shoes because it’s on the opposite side of town.
