<p>The jewelry is fabulous!  One look at each piece makes you think it costs thousands.  Why not?  It is designed and crafted with the same meticulous effort as pieces that do.  However, with <a href="http://thebeadcage.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&#038;cPath=326" style="text-decoration: none;">John Medeiros Jewelry</a>, you are not paying for what you don&#8217;t see.  The base metal alloy contains only a small amount of silver.  You don&#8217;t pay for the solid silver or gold cores.  What you do get is the rich look of pieces costing so much more without the worry of cleaning or theft.</p>
<p><a href="http://thebeadcage.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&#038;cPath=326" style="text-decoration: none;"><img src="http://blog.thebeadcage.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/fourbrac.jpg" width="400" height="394" alt="John Medeiros" border="0" align="right" /></a>
<p><a href="http://thebeadcage.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&#038;cPath=326" style="text-decoration: none;">John Medeiros</a> is a real person.  He has over 30 years in the jewelry business under his belt and is a top artist among his contemporaries with his well known style.  Each piece is designed and copyrighted.  Each piece is individually handcrafted by skilled artisans at his E. Providence, Rhode Island location.  Each piece is meticulously made using a process of over 20 individual steps.  He uses a premium alloy as a base for nearly all of his jewelry.  Many pieces have a signature clasp and most carry his hidden signature.  All pieces are embellished in heavily plated Rhodium and or 14kt gold.  He personally supervises each piece that is made often times always polishing pieces by hand until perfect.  Because each piece carries his good name, he backs this with a lifetime guarantee.</p>
<p>Because of the heavy plating, the pieces are considered safe as nickel and lead free.  Earrings use a surgical stainless steel.  Cubic zirconium is hand cut to specification.  Pearls used are of the highest quality.  Because most pieces are made to order, there is a limited stock of many pieces.  Some pieces are designed to order and may require up to six weeks to be completed.</p>
<p>This brand is like no other we sell.  It places us in a different category of retailer.  We are able to offer a magnificent piece of jewelry at an amazing value.  John allows many of us to have the means to wear such jewelry that may have always been out of reach.  He allows those of us with the means to buy more to have exquisite pieces that can be worn.  It is a joy to sell and those customers that know of <a href="http://thebeadcage.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&#038;cPath=326" style="text-decoration: none;">John Medeiros</a> are dedicated and wonderful to work with.</p>
<p>John treats his retailers like family, like he would want to be treated.  There is always a pleasant voice on the other side of the phone when helping to design jewelry for our customers.  He provides training unparalleled in the industry to both his representatives and his retailers.  A retailer knows he is special when he is selected to sell <a href="http://thebeadcage.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&#038;cPath=326" style="text-decoration: none;">John Medeiros jewelry</a>.  We are trained to give the same level of quality service you would receive by John himself.  We feel like we are an extension of him and his wonderful team.</p>
<p>All of our staff have and wear <a href="http://thebeadcage.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&#038;cPath=326" style="text-decoration: none;">John Medeiros jewelry</a>.  That says something for the line.  It is not often that we get a line that appeals to so many.  Our customers appreciate the line also.  As soon as we make them aware of the line, most are instantly hooked.  It is great to see how much joy this brand brings to so many people.</p>
<p>Because this is high quality jewelry, <a href="http://thebeadcage.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&#038;cPath=326" style="text-decoration: none;">John Medeiros</a> feels that it would be a disservice to our customers to sell his jewelry on line.  We agree.  By calling us, you will be able to have the attention and expertise that such a line deserves.  With no pressure, we can talk to you about the brand and all of his products.  We can help you choose the right pieces for you or for a gift.  If we have the piece on hand, we can wrap it an send it to you or you an pick it up at The Beadcage.  If we do not have the piece, we can make arrangements to have one made for you and provide you with an approximate time of completion.</p>
<p><span id="more-405"></span></p>
<p>Most pieces are priced between $50 and $150.  Nearly all pieces are priced below $200 except for rings that in general start about $400.  Please remember that the rings base metal is either silver or gold and not an alloy.  The prices charged are a great value given the meticulous design and craftsmanship of each piece.  You will appreciate that the jewelry looks as though it costs thousands.  Prices charged at <a href="http://www.thebeadcage.com/" style="text-decoration: none;">The Beadcage</a> are those recommended by <a href="http://thebeadcage.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&#038;cPath=326" style="text-decoration: none;">John Medeiros</a>.  Please see the collection at <a href="http://thebeadcage.com/shop/" style="text-decoration: none;">www.thebeadcage.com/shop</a></p>
