ABOUT US
Jansjems began in 2006 when I signed up for courses in geology and gemology and obtained a small collection of faceted gemstones. The early stages of my hobby focused on the use of genuine gemstone beads and precious metals to create designs for family and friends. The challenge of working with combinations of colors and textures quickly roped me in as well as the budding artists that are my own precious gems – my two daughters.
The eclectic collection of Jansjems designs is attributed to the wide variety of styles that each of us has. The obsession to create unique wearable art has evolved into three distinct jewelry collections: traditional gemstone designs that keep us tied to our roots, steampunk jewelry comprised of upcycled and antique materials, and a new handmade fine silver clay line which will premiere in 2011.
The progression of Jansjems from a hobby to a business has been an exciting adventure. Since the creativity of the Bajgier women shows no sign of slowing down, we hope that family, friends, and loyal customers will continue to support our creative endeavors at New England craft fairs and online stores for years to come.
Handmade. Sophisticated.
Yours,
Jan Bajgier
