Jennifer Smith
SmithNJewels
Cambria, CA. USA,
Hello!
My name is Jennifer and am the owner and jewelry designer of
SmithNJewels.
I have been learning and creating jewelry since High School. I
walked into a bead store one day, came out with a $100 worth of
treasures and that’s how it all started. 
I have become increasingly better over the years and now wish to
make a business of it. I work with beaded jewelry off all different
natural gems and stones, swarovski and glass beads and anything else
that catches my eye.
Perhaps one day, I can quit my “day job” and enjoy this as a living!
