All of our style numbers have meaning.

 They are abbreviated mini-descriptions of our jewelry. They tell us the shape, metal, stone, and how the stone is attached. It's kind of like a "Secret Language" and now you are in on it! Next time you see us, point to one of our designs and say the "Secret Code" style number and we'll think you're way cool and a real Harry Mason fan!

For example, H1XSGF tells us it is a classic basic single twist in 14K Gold-filled with a Hematite bead attached. As you can see, it's a lot faster to say, please hand me a H1XSGF, when we are busy, than to say the full description. Once you learn it, it's fun! You don't need to learn it, this is just to help you if you are wondering "what does FO on the 53SFOGF mean?"
