She uses only simple tools and her hands, to gently nudge, smooth, soften, and shape the lines, of the sterling silver and 14 karat gold filled wire that she uses to make her jewelry. She manipulates the wire to bring it to life, as a beautiful work of art, to be worn with confidence and pride. Her inspiration comes as her creativity and imagination draw the boundaries as to what can be produced from the thin strains of wire.

Jeannette says, “My particular taste drives my style. I believe that everyone should have a piece of jewelry that speaks to them in a way that they want to keep putting in on and wearing it again and again. I know this because I have bought such pieces myself over the years. Creating jewelry that inspires comment, smiles and the desire to have a piece to wear is my ultimate goal.”

Jeannette has her jewelry for purchase at several art shows throughout the year, both instate and out-of-state. Her jewelry can be purchased at two locations. Jeannette’s Jewelry, in the lovely, whimsical gallery called I Love My Stuff located at 139 North Broadway, which is in the Old Town Artist Village in Berea, Kentucky and the Kentucky Artisan Center in Berea.

Jeannette also designs custom pieces. She makes her own glass beads, chain and dichoric glass, which enhances her wire work. The cabochons that are wrapped into beautiful pendants are also cut, ground and polished in her studio workshop. Jeannette can be contacted at: www.info@jeannettesjewelry.com
