Jebedi's Jewels

 

 

Designer and Jeweler - Jeannie Snyder

• "Jebedi's Jewels jewelry is a step aside from the usual, using stones and glass in unique shapes and forms for special days, and every day."

I have been designing jewelry since 1999. I received my Nursing degree from Florida State University in 1976 and work as a Home Health and Hospice nurse in Eugene, Oregon. I began making jewelry for friends and family in the evenings after work to unwind from my day. It became very therapeutic and pleasurable for me and grew into a wonderful second career.

Many of my designs are inspired by the myriad shapes and textures found in nature, especially those I see in the Pacific Northwest: the swirls of water and sand in the rivers and ocean, the asymmetry of the mountains, the abstract tapestry of the forests, and the gentle curves and wisps of waterfalls. I incorporate these patterns into my jewelry creating simple yet unusual pieces that will complement a woman's many styles.

One of my greatest joys is searching for unusual gemstones and glass beads to use in my creations. Many of the beads I use are semi-precious stones from Malaysia, Indonesia, China, South America & Thailand. My glass beads also come from exotic regions around the globe such as; Austria, Venice, Italy and the Czech Republic. All of the fresh water pearls in my creations are from Lake Biwa, in Japan, and are all direct from the Shanghai Pearl Market. My Baltic Amber comes from Latvia and Poland.

To me, the greatest compliment is when someone incorporates one of my jewelry designs into their own unique style. To know that the piece is being worn, and that it puts a smile on someone's face whenever they wear it, makes me truly happy
