…… Janet & Jewelry

I enjoy sharing my passion for jewelry with others! I love the freedom to create jewelry pieces in my own way. I design unique, one-of-a-kind jewelry, along with the "Sharon" bracelet (a breast cancer bracelet named for my sister-in-law) & collection, a Faith & 1st Holy Communion jewelry collection, and personalized jewelry - where the sky's the limit! My mission is to create beautiful jewelry that can be enjoyed by all. The chance to bring a smile, a moment of happiness or some encouragement to someone else through my jewelry allows me to fulfill my need to help and connect with others. Through jewelry sales, I have the opportunity to make donations to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Fund, Operation Feed and the United Way through corporate jewelry show fundraisers.

I create my jewelry pieces using a variety of Bali, Thai & sterling silver beads mixed with specially chosen gemstones, pearls or Swarovski crystals. Some pieces are made by wire wrapping beads on sterling silver wire while others are designed & then strung on Soft Flex wire. I use simple patterns & design and allow the beads to make the statement for my jewelry. I enjoy the adventure of searching for beads and creating new & different pieces. There are endless possibilities!

My love for jewelry started as a child with special memories of a necklace. On my travels, a stranger helped spark my interest in making jewelry. Back in 2000, I started by designing jewelry for myself and gifts for family & friends. I started selling my jewelry in 2001. I have attended many central Ohio arts festivals and craft shows. Along with the arts festivals, I also market my jewelry designs through open houses and corporate charity events. Thanks to endearing customers, my inspiration & energy for jewelry making has continued to grow as have jewelry sales. The awesome journey continues . . . . . . .
