Galleria J. Antonio

I just wanted to take a minute to send my love to all the clients and neighbor's that have reached out to me . I opened in 1975 at 816 Madison Ave , then to 39 Christopher street , then to 47 ave A , and now to the little store at 43 Ave A  ..  I have been through the death's  of my entire immediate family ,  the loss of Jose Antonio to aids after 20 years of making fashion in new york in 1998  I ended up  Homeless in Seattle , then opening up my own store again at 711 Third Ave , Seattle Wa ....in 1990 , and back to New York's east village in 1997 , Sept 11th , Hurricane Sandy , Superstorm Irene, and insurmountable obstacle's to keep a small mom and pop shop open in New York ....I have buried hundred's of friends and fellow artist , and 3 uncles to covid.   But this Covid -19 pandemic , has been the hardest thing I have ever faced.    I'm watching my neighbors close up their restaurants, and small shop's on Ave A  .....Clients lose their jobs and apartments

So much fun to have these  lightweight , kitty kats twirling around your neck .... I enjoy the fact that jewelry does not have to be a Christian Dior or a Bulgari .    It makes you smile and thats my goal .... Jesse

Your jewelry , has history .  Reuniting people with their possessions.  Is always a good thing. I hear:——- I got this for graduation, can you make it fit again? My parents gave me this from my grandparents . Can we redesign this ? My first husband gave me this - thank god he's gone , but I kept this necklace. ! Ive gained a few pounds and need this ring to be resized .? I got this on line and it's too long -can it be restrung ? I was home last week and My Mom said "take this , Ill never wear it again." I need to rewire the clasp. My watch fogs up !! Can we take links out of this watch band   -It's way to big!!!!!! I have 10 dead watches in my drawer at home ..I understand there is no charge for you to see if they work I cracked the glass ( crystal) on this watch , can it be replaced ?  I make bread at home -I am missing a stone in this ring , can we replace it ?  Im a widow ...Can you turn my wedding band ,into a necklace ?
