Featured Etsy Shop Series: JemsbyJBandCompany

The featured jewelry shop on etsy this week is jemsbyjbandcompany. While hiking in the Adirondacks in New York, Judy's husband Bill discovered their first piece of garnet, and this was the birth of their jewelry company. Bill cuts and polishes some of their finds, and Judy creates jewelry from them. In addition they often use other semi precious gemstones, and sometimes Swarovski crystal and Czech glass in their reasonably priced, one of a kind designs. Featured above is an example of their wonderful necklaces, Watermelon, made with aventurine and agate beads.

Judy designs lovely bracelets using a great variety of gemstone beads, along with beads of other materials like wood, polymer clay, lampwork glass and sterling silver. The Seafoam bracelet uses aventurine, chinese turquoise and fire crab agate along with sterling silver for a one of a kind creation.

Don't miss the earrings section in JemsbyJbandCompany! The beautiful earrings on the left are made with polished jasper gemstones in warm caramel tones, which gives them their name Caramel.  On the right are the Smoky Mountain Earrings featuring smoky topaz quartz briolette drops, wrapped with sterling silver wire to sterling hoops adorned with cube beads of botswana agate - such a lovely combination of colors that will spice up the neutrals in your wardrobe.
