Seattle, WA (PRWEB) October 16, 2004 -- Violingifts.com, the only web site specializing in innovative gifts for string players, announced today that they will offer a Jascha Heifetz(tm) line of jewelry and collectibles. The new line captures the same meticulous attention to detail and technical precision that was the trademark of Jascha Heifetz's performance career. The latest piece from the Heifetz Collection is a pendant necklace fashioned after a violin bridge carved by Antonio Stradivari. The pendant is available in both 14K gold ($575) and sterling silver ($88), and includes a 20" inch chain and decorative gift box.
"We are very honored to have this Agreement with the Heifetz Estate and CMG Worldwide, the estate's international licensing agent, to create this one-of-a-kind pendant," said Julie Tebbs, founder of Violingifts.com. The web site also features another item in the Heifetz line- a limited-edition signature crystal on a black marble base that has Mr. Heifetz's likeness beautifully etched into the crystal. "The web makes it possible for us to specialize and offer unique items like this, items totally geared for serious string players." added Tebbs.
Tebbs, a life-long violin player and instructor, launched the site in 2001 mainly as a result of the difficulty she had finding violin-theme gifts for her friends and students. The site offers a wide variety of items including figurines, mugs, posters, and full selection of elegant jewelry. Tebbs also writes an informative newsletter, and often posts letters and comments from her customers on the site, making it one of the few open forums for string players, students, and instructors available on the Internet.
Violingifts.com is donating a portion of the sales from the new Jascha Heifetz pendant to the American String Teachers Association's String Project Consortium. ASTA started the National String Project Consortium as a way of helping universities build the practical training component of their music education program.

Violingifts.com offers a full line of violin-theme gifts and collectibles for string players, teachers, and students. Owned and operated by Julie Tebbs, the Seattle based company is the web's only source for unique violin gifts. Visit them today at www.violingifts.com.
