Justin Bortz New World Jeweler recently unveiled a new look to evoke a jewelry store experience that is wholly inspired and exciting to experience, created by Interior Designer Chrystal Helms Hardinger. Unique display pieces and artistic elements beautifully complement the custom jewelry designs. Bortz designs and creates custom, intuitive, visionary jewelry for men and women, and specializes in one-of-a-kind pieces. 

Bortz and his family also received amazing support from the community. Sam Talarico, owner of Talarico Hardwoods, presented a gift of shelves from the Sacred Oak Tree, in Oley Township, which is approximately 700+ years old. When the tree was pruned nearly a decade ago, Talarico was given the wood. With respect to the tree’s sacred nature, he gives what he creates from the wood as gifts. The shelves bring both a sense of comfort and a sense of legendary beauty, according to Bortz. 

“Chrystal is a dear friend, a cancer survivor and powerhouse of interior design,” describes Bortz. “She is a lifetime of talent, and she poured all of it into the design to make my dream store a reality. Upon entering the store, one’s senses dance unconditionally with delight. And, we are so grateful to receive the remarkable gift of sacred oak shelves from Sam. The thought-provoking energy of the wood provides line, shape, texture and space.”
