Jackrabbit Crystals

Welcome to Jackrabbit Crystals! I'm Jacqueline, a passionate handmade jewelry maker who discovered my love for creating sparkling beauty just over two years ago. My brand takes inspiration from the golden landscape of Placer County in Northern California, where I live. Additionally, it's a play on words, incorporating a nod to my own name and the native wildlife right in my back yard.

As a stay-at-home mom, my journey into the world of jewelry making has been nothing short of amazing. In this short span, I've been able to achieve remarkable success from selling my jewelry online. This achievement means the world to me and has surpassed my initial goal of just one order a week. Looking ahead, my goal is to invest in the necessary machinery and tools to create the cabochons and faceted gemstone as well as shape and solder precious metals to use in the jewelry I make that I can showcase online and at local handmade markets.

Beyond crafting jewelry, I'm an active member and dedicated volunteer in my local gem and mineral society. It's a wonderful community where we share our knowledge and experiences in the arts and science of this fascinating world. Through my membership, I've been learning various skills like lapidary, silversmithing, casting, and faceting, broadening my expertise and nurturing my passion.

Gemstones, crystals, and minerals hold a special place in my heart. There's something enchanting about their shimmering allure and fascinating formations that ignites my creative spirit. Among the various techniques I employ, wire wrapping rings is my absolute favorite. I find beauty in simplicity combined with elegance, and that's the aesthetic I strive to capture in every piece I create.

Thank you for joining me on this sparkling journey. I'm thrilled to share my creations with you, each one infused with love, creativity, and the captivating allure of gemstones. Together, let's celebrate the artistry and joy found in handmade jewelry.
