I attended a trunk show last week for a jewelry line called
JIOIA, designed and produced by Jessica (soon to be Mrs. Arango, congratulations!). She's an ambitious architect
by day and jewelry designer by day, night, and everywhere in between. She began by taking classes here and there, on how to physically
make the pieces, and away she went. Most of what she makes is hand made & completely gorgeous. I enjoyed the intimate setting of the show, with low lighting, candles, and lots of delicious snacks. If you're interested in anything that I feature in this post, please let me know so that I can pass the word along, or you can just e-mail Jessica
by clicking here to order a piece.
Jessica is giving 10% off to readers of TFE!

This piece was really versatile. It can be worn as a chunky bracelet, long necklace or double stranded necklace.
It's got a great coppery rose gold color to it. |
