What people are saying:

Picture
"You will quickly understand why Janise is so successful in her creative fields - she is through-and-through a lover of people. Her keen ability to listen and adapt, her strength of purpose, and her resolve to encapsulate your real intention within a piece of jewelry is nothing short of masterful.. My mother does not wear much jewelry, but the piece designed by Janise is now THE singular item that completes her every outfit, due to its sentimental value and congruent style. I can't think of a better gift to give someone! ​" Kim Devlin
-----------
The Story:  Kim's mother cherished a silver napkin ring she had been given years ago as a wedding present.  Kim wanted to preserve those memories in something her mom could enjoy everyday.  Janise skillfully upcycled the napkin ring into a sterling silver cuff bracelet.  Kim's mother loved the bracelet and the thoughtfulness of her daughter in giving a special and meaningful gift that she wears everyday.  read more stories

​​Strong Women: A Custom Theme Necklace

Custom jewelry especially designed for the wearers style and personality to remind them of a special person, place, time, or event.
​As a wig specialist, I have had the blessing to work with many beautiful women dealing with health, physical, and mental struggles. I see their individual strength and bring them together as sisters who strive to overcome the negative in life as one unit with lots of unique pieces. Janise

The Meaning of the Strong Women Necklace

A representation of you, women who fight to be part of the norm. You are courageous women dealing with many of society’s impressions, physical losses, life threatening illnesses, and negativity; women who have overcome and became "strong women".

Every element and color of this necklace design has been carefully selected with you in mind. You have the courage of a lion, at times you have abstract emotions, swirls of inspirations, and you don a crest that connects you to family, friends, the world around you and even God all of which bring balance.  You are solid as a rock, yet you have an open heart, a large heart ready to give and waiting to be filled. You find joy, embrace the old and welcome the new.

Colors of green, brown, gold, purple, white and maroon symbolize your many attributes; nurturing, grounded, rich in spirit, royal, pure, passionate, and growing.

Special Features of The Strong Woman Necklace shown in the photo: 
  • vintage and previously loved costume jewelry that may have signs of visible wear, Janise considers this part of the charm and sentiment.
  • the open heart clasp is made from up-cycled jewelry, a hand-made flower using a vintage filigree stamping and purple crystal center.
  • a theme based statement assemblage style.  It is collage of upcycled and vintage jewelry in the length of 18"-20". 
  • even though this is larger assemblage necklace it is surprisingly comfortable and easy to wear, this is the perfect all-day necklace for dressing up jeans and a t-shirt.  And it works equally well as a statement piece when you're style is slightly fancier.

"Here is to celebrating you, a strong woman!" Janise
