Treasure Thursday – Jamie’s Jewels *CLOSED*

Today I’ll introduce an Etsy shop where you can find an array of boutique style jewels from plain and simple to extravagant and elegant...

* Tell me a little bit about yourself .
I am a very happy 36 year old stay at home mom from New Jersey….My past jobs included working for the family insurance business, and as a teacher and surgical technologist in the operating room…I love traveling, reading, ice skating, and of course, creating elegant unique and classic jewelry pieces…I am absolutely in love with Bermuda…

 
* How long have you been jewelry artist? How and why did you start?
I am a very detail oriented person, so I love creating...I’ve been creating jewelry for some time now, and it was always a dream of mine to own my own jewelry store ..I was lucky enough to be introduced to Etsy through my sister who is an Etsy fanatic..I was a buyer for awhile, and then realized I had to take the risk for my dream to come true…I opened my store March 2009….My items are also available for purchase at the Noyes Museum of Art in Oceanville, NJ…..

* What is your favorite material to work with and why?
I love working with Swarovski crystals and pearls because I can go from creating classic and simple pieces, to unique and elegant pieces….

* Where do you get your inspiration for the items in your shop?
I love to create simple and classic pieces because they are timeless…But as you will see browsing my store, I also love to create unique elegant pieces that you wouldn’t find at a local mall… I get my inspiration from everyday life from the past, present, and future…

*If you had to choose just one favorite item in your shop, what would it be and why?

 
I think it would be my Owl Friends Rhinestone Necklace ….I have always loved owls, and I just love the brown and topaz colors of the piece….I personally like to wear unique pieces that have a lot of sparkle….I guess you could call me a glamour girl :)……
