Weight approx: 18 g About the artist: Breakell In the picturesque town of Newport, Rhode Island, a tale of craftsmanship and passion unfolds. The story of J.H. Breakell & Co., a beacon of American Silversmithing, began in 1972. Founded by the talented silversmith James Breakell and his dedicated wife, Joan, the company has been a testament to the enduring allure of handcrafted jewelry. James Breakell opened his first shop in Newport in 1973. However, it was the company's strategic expansion into mail order in the mid-1980s, along with their ads in prestigious magazines like the New Yorker and Smithsonian Magazine, that truly broadened its horizons.
