This is the first in a series of product spotlights. I’m starting with JewelKade first because they have a bunch of exciting stuff going on this month including new products, $100 off new stylist kits and more!
(The necklace above will be available starting this March!)
The great thing about Jewel Kade is it’s flexibility – I can sell at parties and online (or right off my own neck if you’re really eager!) and each piece can be just as formal or as casual as you’d like. Here’s a little more straight from corporate…

HANDCRAFTED QUALITY
For Designer Janet Kinkade, there has always been an appeal to Old World craftsmanship – a time when items were made by hand, by artisans who took pride in creating something beautiful that would last. She has applied that appreciation for timeless quality to her jewelry designs.
- Each and every JK Signature Charm is handcrafted in the JK studios in Alpine, Utah.
- The charms are each framed by hand in authentic pewter (lead-free, of course).
- The beveled glass is hand-cut.
- The artistic designs are printed one-by-one on artist’s canvas – not paper – which sets Jewel Kade apart from other brands.
- The designs are embellished by hand with dazzling touches like Swarovski crystals and German Glass Glitter.
- The attachment rings, jump rings and drops are then added by hand.
- Finally, each charm is individually inspected and polished before it’s deemed JK-worthy and sent to you.
- With the handcrafted process behind JK charms, the subtle variations mean no two charms are exactly alike, which means you are wearing a truly unique, inspired piece of artistry.
WHAT’S IT MADE OF?
FINE MATERIALS
German Glass Glitter
JK’s German Glass Glitter comes from a small family-run company in the heart of Germany that boasts a long genealogy line of Bavarian glass workers. Unlike industrial glass and glitter, each batch of German Glass Glitter is crafted by hand through a seven-step process that starts with coating a thin substrate of glass with a coat of pure silver. After firing the glass at high temperatures, color coatings are added, followed by additional firings and coats of sliver. This process is what gives the glitter both the exceptional sparkle and shine, as well as its tendency to tarnish to a rich vintage look over time.
Swarovski Crystals
Several Jewel Kade charms feature Swarovski (swor-off-skee) crystals, which are known around the world for their exquisite quality. In 1892 glassmaker Daniel Swarovski revolutionized the crystal cutting and polishing process, and for over 120 years Swarovski has continued to lead the world in the quality, colors and shapes of crystal.
WHAT’S NEW?
One of my favorite things about Jewel Kade is that they have new and seasonal charms that come out all the time. I have a Clover tattoo and a dog named Clover – so I had to have the real four-leaf-clover charm 🙂
I started offering Jewel Kade photo charms late last year and I’ve fallen in love with all of their charms!
