Humble Beginnings The world has dramatically changed since 1974 when Elaine Coyne and a small staff started a collectible artwear business in a small studio in downtown Boston. We packed up our creative art line and wrote orders with pen and paper. We handed one piece of paper to the gallery owner and another to the salesperson who represented our arty cuffs, original earrings, limited edition necklaces and designer belts, which in turn gave us permission to ship the gallery in a timely manner. The reorder level was generally a week to one month. We became an established go-to company for galleries and better boutiques nationally. It was very exciting. In the 80's We Got Connected to my Art History Background We started doing one-of-a-kind patina brass and bronze jewelry and belt buckles. This process was adapted from my studies at Harvard University in Boston, San Miguel de Allende School of art in Mexico and Penland School in North Carolina. The process of coloration on sculpture that costs tens of thousands of dollars seemed like a natural for me. Our Classic Sea Turtle Verdigris Patina Earring. All pieces signed by Elaine Coyne.
