We designed unusual buckles/belts and then began to add jewelry. We became noted for complete collections and unique finishes, such as the one-of-a-kind verdigris patinas and later, earth patinas. As the fashion industry began to take note of our arrival, we moved into a showroom and our sales doubled. We began to be established….A big thing for a young designer. In the mid-eighties, Elaine moved beyond commissions and personal appearances. TV and speaking engagements became normal fare. The personal appearances moved into Saks, Rich's, museums and art galleries.

Stockton and very fine and established stores throughout the world.
1994 began a new division.... (next)
