I met Jill years ago as she began her creative journey into the artistic and spiritually fulfilling line of jillijewels and it has been a wondrous journey. The blessings to me and all who receive a jillijewels piece transcend the offerings from a simply aesthetically pleasing piece. Her passion for life and spiritual growth, for aesthetic beauty and for healing through gifts from the earth translate into the pieces she creates. As a recipient of the healing and growth properties of each piece in my jillijewels collection, I found complete joy in opening others lives; my friends, family and clients, to all the possibility in their lives through the immense gifts of Jill’s pieces.
One of my friends from the Ukraine, commissioned a piece, a necklace, from Jill. When her Aunt from Russia came for a visit, she picked up the necklace and immediately recognized that the piece was made from love. Not just in the craftsmanship. She FELT the love from the piece and was herself rewarded with feelings of joy.
Another friend was approaching her 40th birthday and, at the same time, was dealing with a lot of pain over a recent loss in her life and her heart needed healing. I wanted to do something very special for her so I commissioned a jillijewels necklace and bracelet. Jill created pieces that gave my friend joy from the beauty of those pieces and helped her toward the healing process. She is now one of Jill’s clients.
The pieces I have chosen to photograph are the ones I wear most often from my collection. Prior to jillijewels, I would rarely wear more than a watch and earrings. That has changed. When I wear my jillijewels, I feel connected to the earth, a part of all my sisters in spirit and I feel closer to my dear friend, Jill. At the start of my journey into a being jillijewels collector, I wore a jillijewels bracelet of freshwater pearls everyday for years to remind me to be true to who I am and because it is so lovely. I will always wear it because I love it so but I no longer need to wear it everyday. Thank you Jill!
You wear a piece of jillijewels for the uniqueness and beauty of each piece, you wear her pieces to help in whatever area of growth you want to promote in your life, and you wear her pieces because you FEEL great when you do.
I can’t wait to see what Jill creates as she continues to grow spiritually and as an artist.
I love you Jill!
