Feature Friday-Jenna's Jewels



Jenna's Jewels

Our feature product this week is Jeanna's Jewels here is word or two from Jenna herself.

How did you get started making jewelry?

When I was 7 years old I met a lady at an arts festival who makes expensive jewelry. I really liked her work and she liked me! We kept in touch with my mother's help and she sent me a beading kit. I then began to make bead buddies. My desire for beading then expanded into Lisa Frank kits for girls...eventually my mother suggested I try using better quality beads and that's officially when Jenna's Jewels began. I was 14 when we started my business. I'm now 17.

What kinds of things does Jenna's Jewels make?

I make mostly anything out of beads. I especially like to make bracelets, necklaces (both made of all beads and pendants to hang from a chain), earrings, brooches, bookmarks and I have even tried making rings, but they are a bit harder to do.


Can you tell me about the quality of your jewelry?

I use quality silver findings (beads, beading components, clasps, etc) and will even use solid, filled or plated gold if the customer wants. I use swarovski crystals and fire polished czech beads as well. I use the best quality beading wire available on the market. It is made by taking 49 thin strands of steel and braiding it together, then covered in nylon. It is very sturdy.

Does Jenna's Jewels do custom pieces?

All of my work is custom to the customer's specifications. Because of this, it takes a little longer to get your piece to you. You tell me what you want, how you want it and what size. Beads are not ordered until these specifications are met. From start to finish, it usually takes 3-4 weeks to complete the process of ordering to shipping your product. Some items are just made for fun and may be available for immediate purchase.

Where do we go to order one something from Jenna's Jewels?

You may email me with any questions or orders. My email is jennasjewels@verizon.net. My mother helps me with the ordering process since I do work full time hours outside of beading as well as do school work. I do have a website but it's needing updated. There is a link on my site to my online photo album that is updated often. My website is www.jennasjewels.net.

Jenna has generously offered up for a giveaway today a Mother Daughter bracelet set pictured below. My daughters and I were lucky enough to receive these and they are just so pretty and I just love that we all three have something to share!



To win a set for you and your daughter all you have to do is go visit Jenna's site and tell me item caught your eye. Come back here and tell us all about it in the comment section and you will be entered to win!

US residents only. Also please allow up to three weeks for winner to receive prize as each item is made to size for each customer. Thanks so much!

The Kira earrings are nice!

abbygirl said...

The name bracelets are lovely and would make perfect gifts for daughters-in-law with kids' names. The mother/daughter bracelets are very dressy and my grandaughter would feel so "grown up" - like a lady (even though she acts like a little "tom boy".

Hello! I really like the Just For Fun Bracelet. Thanks, Cindi

The danaearrings are my favorite. I love the huggie style earrings, which are so much harder for my daughter to pull out of her ears! I found them on her photobucket website by following the direct link on her webpage.

Holly said...

I like the Hope earrings. We all need a little more "Hope" in our lives, wearing these would remind me of the importance of trying a little harder.

lfhpueblo said...

The "Jon" bracelet is nice. The green stones are a good choice against the silver. I know Jenna can suceed in Forensics if she continues to try hard. My sister-in-law is also Bi-Polar. She worked for many years as a Pediatric Registered Nurse, until she was badly injured in an automobile accident. Because of her brain injury and visual injury she is unable to work as a nurse, but she's doing okay and has a good husband. It's good to have an artistic talent, it helps one to feel good about the inspiring things they create. Good luck to all.

Vetstadium said...

This would be great for my wife and daughter.

Laura said...

Wish I had enough money to be Jenna's best customer! I've bought a few things, and am always a PITA with my excessively creative ideas to chalenge her. Can't just buy her already gorgeous stuff, I have to throw in my own ideas.

My favorite on her site is the rosary...I am going to get one someday. And the Mother's bracelets...and...and...and, I could go on and on! She makes BEAUTIFUL stuff, I tell ya!

joannaonthelake said...

Jenna's Jewels has some truly beautiful jewelry! I saw so many very nicely made items and so much variety to choose from. It was hard to pick a favorite item, but at the top of my list are the Liliac Dreams Earrings. I love the color and the design is simple but elegant. I think the idea of creating matching mother and daughter bracelets is so sweet. My daughter would love to have a bracelet that matches mine as she is just at the age where she is discovering jewelry and wanting to wear it! Thank you for the opportunity to enter.
