It was in Jillian's youth that she found her love for stones. Over the next several years she simply collected and admired them for their beauty. However, along her path she discovered that each stone is not only different in appearance, but that each also carries its own energy. For example, some may stimulate the mind while others might have a calming effect on the spirit. A few years ago she began making necklaces for her family and friends. Jillian wore her own pieces and had many offers by strangers to purchase her jewelry. Encouraged by the compliments and some persuasion by her family, she opened her business in the Fall of 2003. What you see are the results of her passion. Each piece is put together with stones that compliment one another, not only to the eye but also to the soul. It is Jillian's hope that you will love her pieces as much as she has enjoyed making them.

Jillian was raised in Ellicottville, a small ski town in Western NY. Skiing was always a passion and the Olympics a dream of hers since the age of 11. After graduating from College she moved to Park City, UT, where she resides today. Just out of college Jillian qualified for the US Ski Team. In 2002 she made her Olympic dream a reality as she represented her country in the Salt Lake City Olympic Games and again in the 2006 Torino, Italy Olympic Games. In addition to her jewelry and skiing, Jillian is a Shamanic Practitioner and is also back in school pursuing her Doctorate in Natural Health. It is her dream to one day open her own practice to educate people on overall wellness and disease prevention.
