​What Makes My Jewelry Special

When I design for you, I take you on a journey of self-expression. It’s a soulful time depicting your story, your special moments, your thoughts, or feelings in jewelry, a wearable art form.  It’s a happy moment to remember, a sorrow that help you grow, it’s a connection to the past, it's lessons learned, it's encouragement, it's victory, it's honor, it's about you...
I'm a story teller who uses select objects to convey your messages in custom necklaces, bracelets, rings, brooches, or home decor.

PERSONAL STORIES IN JEWELRY

​"Grandma is always with me" - Memorial

​Memorial Jewelry

I have fond memories of my grandmother and miss spending time with her.  I inherited a few select items that once belonged to her.   I commissioned Janise to make a dress necklace using  grandma's porcelain flower nick knack and a brooch. 
Janise did an amazing job. I love how it blends my modern style with the vintage brooch.

It is truly one of a kind. I love it!  I think of my grandma every time I wear my necklace."  ~ Michelle

"Special" - Designed Just For Me

See bridal jewelry

Janise is an amazing artist. She created my wedding day jewelry to perfectly match my dress from a photograph.  She even included a special feature. Suspended from the back, was a crystal heart designed to be removed. I gave it to my mother on a chain during the reception.  This is a keepsake mom will have of my wedding day.   I received so many complements as the necklace and earrings were breathtakingly beautiful.  It's a special feeling to know I have one of a kind jewelry created just for me to hand down to my family. " ​ ~ Kaitlyn

​"I Am Strong!" - Cancer Surivor

This necklace is titled "Strong Woman".
​A beautiful piece of art.  When I look at the individual pieces, each one represents a lesson, and reminds me of the people who taught me those lessons. They are all intertwined into this tapestry.  It makes me feel like I have my own personal armor that I take with me to remind me of strength, courage, and faith." ~ Keri
