Neptune Designs handsLike most people who come to Key West, you’ll want to take back a small piece of our tropical island. But why settle for a t-shirt when you can treat yourself, or someone special, to a true Key West keepsake?

The Original Key West Bracelet, a sleek one-of-a-kind bangle created by Jay and Carmeza Pfahl of Key West’s premiere Neptune Designs, pays tribute to our beautiful Southernmost City. Handmade from 14-karat yellow gold, the Original Key West Bracelet is a statement piece that features an eye-catching embellished hook clasp design.

Don’t be surprised to see this popular signature piece adorning the wrists of many locals. Neptune Designs is regaled throughout our community as one of the top places to go for unique designs — especially when it comes to treasure coin jewelry. Jay, Carmenza, and their son, Jason, are well known for meticulously crafting unique designs from authentic cut coins minted from 1622-1715 and from reproductions of Spanish new world gold.

Crowns-Neptune-JewelersTheir family-run business also stocks a massive selection of original charms, pendants, and chains. Still, it is truly famous for its rare cultured Tahitian Black Pearls. If you need a ring resized, a jewelry repair, or your dream piece fabricated, they can do that, too.

Neptune Designs is open Monday through Saturday from 10 am – 10 pm and, in true Key West fashion, sometimes on Sunday from noon – 6 pm. You can find them at 301 Duval Street. Info: 305-294-8131; neptunedesignskeywest.com.
