The Chirping Moms

This Week’s Giveaway & A Guest Post!

April 1, 2013

We hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend. We are excited to introduce you to our friend Erica from jewelry without jewels. She’s sharing a giveaway & a look into how her business started. Enjoy!

I started jewelry without jewels back in 2005 after I graduated from college. I found an old fabric necklace in my mom’s jewelry box and thought it looked cool and unique. I ripped apart an old Lilly Pulitzer skirt and the rest was history. For the past 8 years, my necklaces have been sold in stores, at trunk shows and at holiday boutiques along the East Coast. jewelry without jewels has grown a lot since I first started that summer afternoon. My customers never cease to amaze me with their ideas and they provide me with a lot of inspiration. jewelry without jewels pieces are now considered not “just” necklaces, but also bracelets, headbands, accessories on straw hats, keychains, etc. There are so many ways to wear jewelry without jewels!

Finding the balance between being a stay-at-home mom and a business owner has been tough. After taking about 9 months off, I slowly found myself feeling more human and less like a “mom-zombie” and wanted to get my routine back. I have always thought it’s so important for people, especially parents, to have an outlet, and for me that is creating jewelry and running JWJ. I didn’t want to lose that part of myself. So one night, I went down to my craft area and sorted through my old fabric. It was like reuniting with old friends! Toiles, damasks, pretty pink and greens! I love staying at home with my 15 month old daughter, Emme, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world, but I also cherish the time I have to be creative. I want her to grow up knowing that her mom has passions and is pursuing her dreams. I knew it was time to dedicate myself to jewelry without jewels again.

As a first time mom to a pretty snazzily dressed daughter (if I do say so myself!) I have now entered into the world of toddler clothing and accessories. And so, I see JWJ taking on a whole new life. We are SO excited to introduce the debut of JWJkids! The marriage of JWJ and a kids’ line just seems natural. These fabric accessories are colorful, full of personality and life (just like your little ones!), which will make the mini in your life so happy and excited to wear jewelry. Moms will love these pieces too! They are inexpensive, durable and unique. Moms and tots can now both wear JWJ without fear of breaking expensive, delicate jewelry….jewelry without jewels necklaces are made to last and meant to be worn for years. Made of soft cotton or silk, they can dress up a polo and jeans or even add a little bit of pop to your favorite summer dress. Wear one outside a turtleneck in the winter and remind everyone of the sunshine that’s not too far off.

Now for the giveaway: I am so excited to partner with Courtney and Julie and offer one of The Chirping Moms’ readers a free necklace for herself or for a special little lady in her life!
