About Great Falls Jewelry

In 1968, a young artist and her machinist husband began creating jewelry in their Paterson, N.J. home. Today, 60 years, and three generations later, the company continues its American artisan traditions under designer and daughter Flora Brothers and grandchildren, Zane Brothers and Kieu Luu. Collections include fine and fashion jewelry, cufflinks, and one-of-a-kind pieces—featuring unusual, high-quality stones and recycled precious metals. Every piece is handmade in the 19th-century former mill the company calls home. The company focuses on elegant and beautiful design and quality materials (which include unusual stones sourced from around the world and cut at the company's own lapidary). Great Falls also provides custom design and commission pieces. And since its founding by Jan Palombo and Michael Brothers in 1968, the company has never used toxic chemicals and recycles materials and byproducts - making it one of the nation's first "green" jewelry manufacturers.Read their story
