We have a sad announcement. Ann Ahlswede, the co-founder of Equatoria, passed away on Monday, June 23. Her legacy goes on with Equatoria LLC. In addition to her role in Equatoria’s founding, she was a visual artist, a jewelry artist, and a 5-time published author. She was a force of nature and she will be missed.

To all our valued customers:

As you may know, the prices of precious metals, including silver, continue to rise each day.  It is difficult to keep up.  We have had to raise prices
substantially and may have to raise them again--with no end in sight. 

The good news is that your Sterling is now worth a great deal more than it was just a few months ago.  It will be a great investment as silver prices continue to rise.  Still, we really wish we didn’t have to make this adjustment again.  We want to give you
the best price possible and right now this is it.  If prices begin to move downward, we will adjust our prices to reflect that, so no worries that we might not do that.

We thank you for your understanding and patience with this process.

On another note: Due to major spine surgery on July 2, 2025, Paula will be out of the office until the end of December. The recovery period from major spine surgery is generally 6 months.

We cannot accept any new orders for new custom items during this time.

Dear valued customers,

We hope you are all doing well and have been able to adjust to these very expensive times.

As you probably know, this year has seen a phenomenal rise in metal prices.  Our costs have increased greatly and up to now, we have not kept up with these rising costs. As most of us have found out, our other costs have increased in recent months, too.

As a result, we have had to raise Equatoria's Sterling price enough to keep up with the rising cost.  The good news is that we think we will be able to offer a Sterling Sale before Christmas.  The bronze prices are going up just a very little on October 5.

Thank you so much for your patronage.  We will always offer you the very best prices and service that we can.

We appreciate you very much!
