Pat Areias Sterling Jewelers

Fine leather and exotic skin belts. Hand rendered sterling silver buckles and jewelry. This is what you will find at each of our locations. Choose between Italian calfskin, alligator, ostrich, anaconda or a stingray strap to go with a buckle of your choice. This is only some of the many kinds of skins and colors that you can choose from at our boutique. As for our buckles and jewelry, each piece of Pat Areias’s is hand rendered, one by one. As such, they may be similar, but they are not the same. “The essence of hand fabrication,” Areias says, “is that every piece is made by an artisan as an original.” Using a jewelry saw, buckles are cut by hand out of sheet silver and hand forged, then dapped and individually chased and soldered to produce her finished works. There are no wax carvings, no generating molds to produce hundreds of the same image. Each piece that we create is special, hand crafted, and unique… it’s art.

Established in 1987.
Pat Areias Sterling began in Cuernavaca, Mexico, with the introduction of a three-piece buckle set which became the foundation of the designer’s business. Two years later, she added silver jewelry to her collection. Reminiscent of the Art Deco era, her designs are marked by a contemporary style. Areias had occasion to apprentice with both silver and leather craftsmen of Ecuador and Mexico. Something inside beckoned her to pursue the artistry on her own. Her designs are a true reflection of her love and appreciation for both Latin and Scandinavian aesthetics, dating back to an era of silver designers from the 1930s and 1940s which originated in Denmark. After more than 23 years in business, Pat Areias sterling is not only recognizable in itself, but the name has become synonymous with quality. The provision of fine silver accessories and specialized customer service has proved a successful combination for the growing company.
