Silica brings artisan jewelry to Sayville

By Nathan King, Suffolk County Correspondent

Their bright orange sign is something that catches your eye as you walk by, but it's what you see on the inside that will keep you coming back to Silica. Bringing artisan jewelry to downtown Sayville, which already has several other jewelry stores, Silica set themselves apart from the start.

Area residents Alison Flodin-Veitch and Jeffrey Behrens created jewelry floor displays from used dressers–cutting out the top and painting them white and green. Wall displays hang like works of art and inventive displays created by all the staff show off what you are really there to see–the jewelry.

Silica carries the work of over 50 artisan jewelers from all over North America and many local artists here on Long Island. Jeff Behrens is one of these artists. He works with beach glass found locally and has been creating jewelry for almost a decade. You'll find a variety of styles from all the artists as well as a range of materials used.
