Pat Areias has been creating sterling and jeweled belt buckles, extraordinary jewelry and accessories since 1987. Each piece is hand-made; she does not use molds or wax. Amazing.

Pat has studied the cultures of Portugal, Spain, and Denmark., and apprenticed with Mexican and Equadorian leather and silver crafstsmen. The aesthetics of Pat’s work have a unique blend that needs to be seen to be appreciated. I love every piece I have; I even keep the boxes!

Pat and her husband Fred Sanchez have 3 retail locations. Besides their store on Ocean between Lincoln and Dolores they have shops in New York and Beverly Hills. Plus you can shop online!

The staff is excellent as well; be sure to meet Carmen and Paul. Happy Birthday and many returns of the day…
