This week our giveaway is from Jericas Jewelry – a fabulously simple pair of handmade earrings.

Three Coins in the Fountain Glass Earrings

Jennifer from Jericas Jewelry explains, “These sterling silver and Czech glass earrings are simple, modern and striking.” Jennifer has been designing handmade jewelry since college. She saw fashionable jewelry she couldn’t afford and decided to give it a try for herself.

Jennifer works in two main styles: glass & naturals. In her Etsy shop, she focuses on her glass & sterling silver pieces. In her “3 Coins in the Fountain” series, she enjoys playing with color while coordinating bracelets, earrings, and necklaces.

She also creates jewelry pieces from natural materials such as pearls, shells, stone, gems… Those pieces you can find in jewelry stores & boutiques.

Jennifer loves meeting other crafters and is currently networking with the other members of the Philly Etsy team and the University City Arts League, where she teaches an afternoon class. She has also mentored several friends who have decided to take up crafting jewelry after seeing her passion for it.

Jennifer has many goals for the rest of 2009. She says, “[I want] to try to do some craft writing and submit it to various blogs and sites, to submit some original designs to jewelry-making periodicals in hopes of publication, to finish my AJP (Accredited Jewelry Professional) degree through the Gemological Institute of America (I’m 2/3 of the way there!), to be a vendor at the upcoming 2-day Philadelphia Flag Fest, to be held at the Betsy Ross House in Old City, Philadelphia and to continue to challenge myself as a designer.”
