Jewelry Elegance by Jill

Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary defines elegance as that "state or quality of being elegant; beauty... resulting from choice qualities...; grace given by art or practice; fine polish; refinement; -- said of manners, language, style, form, architecture, etc."... and might I add jewelry? Grace, polish and refinement are the hallmarks of Jewelry Elegance by Jill .

I consider myself fortunate to have met Jill a few months ago when we both joined the Esmarts Team on Etsy, the number one online marketing venue for hand crafted art. Esmarts Team members are dedicated to promoting our shops and each other through social marketing. Jill is a strong member and brings style and grace to the team.

Eclectic...

Creative....

Delicate....

Dedicated to perfection...

At Jewelry Elegance by Jill you will find only the finest in gems, swarovski crystal, czech glass, sterling silver and natural copper

A California transplant in Georgia, it's easy to see West Coast freedom mixed with Southern Charm in all Jill's work. A quick trip through her blog, Jewelry Elegance by Jill , reveals a little about her life and loves. Devoted wife and mother of 3, who apparently aren't reading her blog, shame on you guys, Jill is also Momma to fur and feather babies that she adores. You must read Meet the Talker about Nika, an African Gray that keeps the family, apparently including the fur babies, entertained on a regular basis.

It has been my disticnt privilege to introduce you Jewelry Elegance by Jill and I hope you will stop by her shop and have a look around at her extraordinary offerings. You can also find Jill's work at Jewelry Elegance at 1000 Markets and This, This and That also at 1000 Markets.
