The Materials - It all begins here...

For over 14 years, Gina Vitale Syrja, owner of Fair Portia Jewelry has passionately collected gorgeous materials to create with.

From vintage Swarovski and antique Venetian Glass to sapphires, rough diamonds and the tiniest freshwater pearls you've ever seen. If it doesn't inspire me, you won't find it in Fair Portia Jewelry.

The suppliers for these treasures are a very few, family-owned, older businesses with a kindred affinity for high quality sparkle.

One of the most rewarding aspects of jewelry design is the ability to capture an elusive shape or hint of glimmer; that one beautiful detail that complements your ensemble and vision in a completely unique way. For this reason I keep a discerning and intuitive eye focused on collecting only those components which will bring to each piece, its own special magic.

Some of these wonderful materials include:
