Llyn Strong Fine Jewelry.
The eclectic range of luxury jewelry and art glass available at Llyn Strong spans a wide range of genres. The jewelry, including Llyn's own designs, encompasses almost limitless combinations of precious metals, stones, pearls and other elements. While she carries the extraordinary work of nearly one hundred other artists, as well as outstanding museum-caliber glassware and glass housewares, Strong focuses on custom jewelry sold in an eclectic unique atmosphere.
Another aspect of Llyn Strong's downtown business is that Llyn and her husband live in the building. Their upstairs flat has been their home for 3 and half years. Working, living and playing downtown has offered them a quality of life most American's can't imagine. Said Llyn, "For weeks, my husband and I don't have to get in our car to eat, or go to plays or concerts. We can also walk or ride our bikes to the grocery store. This especially helps with green living. And, I even have my own garden on the roof. "
"It's amazing how many different people you encounter just by walking down Main Street. Now, it's becoming more of a tourist area. A lot of people call Asheville the "Paris of the South." To me, Asheville is more bohemian and Greenville more cosmopolitan."
"People who shop with me are looking for something unusual, not something you can find just anywhere. The fact that my business has been able to flourish here means points to the diverse clientele you can find in this area."
