The "Original" Interchangeable Pendant In the late 1990's William and Lisa found themselves committed to figuring out how to earn a living without working for someone else. The marble idea was born in September 1999 when William challenged himself to design a line of jewelry that was both irresistible and affordable. With those ideals in mind, he created the "Original" interchangeable pendant.
William and Lisa debuted the interchangeable jewelry at 'Affaire in the Gardens' in Beverly Hills, where the it sold out in a matter of hours. They knew they had something people liked so they committed themselves to following through on the concept of Got All Your Marbles.
Now they oversee the family-owned business in Tucson, Arizona, and still find time to hit the open road doing art shows across the United States. William is now the proud inventor of a patented tension mechanism. Amazingly, the patent was issued the day after William's birthday (May 31), in 2005 - U.S. Patent No. 6898828. Today's Got All Your Marbles product line is extensive. With William's creativity and drive for creating new products, the product line shows incredible potential. On October 31 of 2006, William was issued another patent for a second clasp mechanism, U.S. Patent No. 7127782. On August 24, 2010, William received a third patent, U.S. Patent No. 7779518 B1
What started out as a means of self employment for husband and wife now includes employing their three girls, Savannah, Morgan, & Monet, as well as Matt, Dave, Will, Tyler, Jean, Amber, Miguel and his brother Francisco. Melissa helps with sales at the downtown arts district storefront. The jobs entail the art of lost wax casting, assemblage, mail order fulfillment, shipping, organizing, marble sifting, marble kit making, quality control, inventory control, customer relations, phone answering, sales, web design and marketing.
