There is the most fabulous niche downtown on 2nd and Lansing, across from Tiny Lounge called Spexton Jewelry. If you are looking for high-end designs in stainless steel jewelry, check out this hip finery.

The two owners and operators, Nate McPherson and Greg Shelton, have a cosmic display of chic jewelry in their trendy studio downtown. Greg, the manufacturer, designs bracelets, rings and necklaces out of industrial and precious metals such as sterling silver, 22k gold, titanium, stainless steel and copper. Other elements that make these adornments fantastic are rubber and diamonds …lots and lots of diamonds.

McPherson, the sales and marketing guru, said, “What’s unique about our jewelry is that each piece is totally individually hand-carved and produced, whether the design is the same or not.” Shelton creates each item single-handedly with manual tools.

Spexton’s Jewelry was a hot item worn in February. 2007 New York Fashion Week in Designer Carmen Marc Valvo’s collection. After Fashion Week, the Spexton boys have received nothing but bigger news. McPherson has said to expect great things from Spexton. “Spexton is a big, giant ball of potential.”

Boutiques around the area such as Miss Jackson’s, Chrome, Dwelling Spaces and Silver Queen in Park City, Utah have carried the Spexton line.

Most attention for Spexton is currently generated by their website. Within the hour that I visited the chic studio, website hits from Tulsa, Virginia, Colorado, Georgia and Atlanta were coming in. However, their biggest clientele is primarily Oklahomans, followed aggressively by Cali, New York, then Texas. France is the biggest consumer outside of the U.S.

McPherson and Shelton attribute all of their success to their customers, which they describe as wonderfully unique. “We have a strong lesbian clientele,” said McPherson. “It’s super special.”
