Giselle Galassi, a jewelry design shop in Bloomfield Hills, has opened shop in the Mall of Michigan, an Internet retailing and shopping service operated by the Michigan Retailers Association (MRA).
Shoppers can access Giselle Galassi online through the Mall of Michigan at http://www.mallofmichigan.com. The store is listed in the Jewelry and Gems section.
Giselle Galassi offers handcrafted, one-of-a-kind or limited-edition jewelry in contemporary European style. The store's online selection includes earrings, bracelets, pins and pendants, many of them featuring a traditional Japanese metalworking technique known as Mokume-Gane, which creates unique swirled patterns in varying colors.
Shoppers can make secure online credit card purchases through this Mall of Michigan store. Purchases can also be made through a secure, automated telephone ordering system.
The Mall of Michigan's collection of unique specialty shops -- all of them MRA members -- opened in late 1997. More than 110 Michigan businesses now participate in e-commerce through this website.
The Michigan Retailers Association is the unified voice of retailing in Michigan and the nation's largest state trade association of general merchandise retailers. MRA's more than 5,500 retail business members operate more than 12,000 stores across the state.
