Partners at parent company Bernard’s Wholesale, Sam & Chris have been designing and manufacturing to the trade for decades in their individual companies.  They decided to combine their skills and offer a complete bridal line, Facets USA, and a color line, Norgem Designs, under one roof, and made in America.

They partnered with longtime Southern favorite, Jim Buie, to represent the line in the Southeast.  “Jim represents the friendly, service-oriented culture that is Bernard’s.  Bringing Jim on was a perfect match,” said Glattstein, vice president.

Bernard’s will be showing for the first time in SJTA’s Atlanta Jewelry Show this February.  You can visit their website or call 800-237-6273 for catalogs and information.
