The Story

Meet Jacqueline & NELSON

Some of the best experiences in life begin with curiosity—a feeling we hope to spark every time you walk through our doors.

Our vision has always been to create a small business that inspires and connects with our community—a place that people remember, return to, and share with family and friends. In 2015, I realized I could combine my love for one-of-a-kind, artist-made treasures with my dream of opening an independently owned business. That vision became Juelerye.

At Juelerye, artist-made and handcrafted aren’t exceptions—they’re the standard. We curate an extraordinary collection of handcrafted jewelry, meaningful fine gifts, and art—all created by artists across North America. Every piece tells a story—of craftsmanship, creativity, and the passion of the artist behind it.

There’s something truly special about giving and receiving a gift that carries the heart of the maker. I’ve had the privilege of sitting with many of our artists, watching them bring their visions to life—each piece infused with their passion and dedication. It’s an honor to share their work with you.

Beyond offering beautiful, artist-made pieces, we strive to create an experience—a space where art, craftsmanship, and connection come together. Whether you’re searching for the perfect gift, a piece that speaks to you, or simply a place to be inspired, we welcome you to explore and enjoy the journey of discovery.

Enter curious. Depart delighted.

We were featured in our local lifestyle magazine. Read about our collaboration with Z-Pots on “A Cup of Wonderful” benefitting the 22q Foundation in honor of my late son Ryan.

Kristen Baird

From the mountains of Virginia and hills of Tennessee to the coast of Georgia, Kristen’s designs pay homage to the waters, landscapes, and flora that bring to life the scenes of the South that Kristen has called home.

In a time where mass manufacturing is predominant, Kristen and her team utilize and preserve traditional metalsmithing skills, as they delicately and precisely craft each piece by hand in the Kristen’s Savannah-based studio.

Using sterling silver, recycled 18K gold, and ethically sourced gemstones, Kristen’s jewelry is full of color and texture with juxtaposing forms both geometric and fluid, as though the designs might have sprung organically from the natural world.

If you haven't seen any of her work, please come in and see what all the recognition is all about. You'll be glad you did.

Houston Llew Spiritiles

Houston Llew started his venture inside a hot garage in Atlanta in the summer of 2008. A combined vision for art and an eternal optimism turned a dreary economic situation into an opportunity to deliver a beautifully handmade art product. Today, Houston makes Spiritiles out of an expanding art studio near downtown Atlanta.

Spiritiles are part of the evolving story about wall art enameling. Houston traces his lineage back to Fred Uhl Ball, an artist and teacher in the mid-1970’s who dreamt of glass on metal murals and brought them to life. He took a medium focusing on small enameling techniques for jewelry and experimented in glass and metal to create wall artwork.

Through strange and fated opportunity, Houston Llew met Zingaro, who mentored Houston in enameling techniques. Through their collaboration, combining the medium with the best industrial design they could find and Houston’s love to explain things by quoting famous authors, Spiritiles were brought to life.

ZPots Studio

"We create together. The work is transcendent, encompassing a beautiful state of being." Each highly textured, individualized ceramic piece created at Zpots Studio begins with a beautiful chocolate clay body. Artists Noelle VanHendrick and Eric Hendrick throw every piece by hand, then decorate each one with slip to create a textured, one-of-a-kind surface. The artists view each Zpot as a unique individual that is part of a family. The glaze colors of earth, forest, and water remain consistent, but the spontaneous line drawings that decorate each piece will vary. A ZPots Studio goal is working toward a renewable future, and with this in mind, the electric kilns in the Zpots Studio are powered by Vermont Cow Power, with electricity generated by the surrounding Vermont farms.

Byers McCurry Studio

Holden McCurry began making the first few prayer towers in 2001 and has since developed them with Ed Byers over the years to incorporate new and distinct architectural forms, symbols, organic imagery and color variations.

Included inside each tower is a fold of paper for writing down messages or prayers of one's choice - giving a special purpose with meaning for each sculpture.

All of the collaborative sculptures are hand built and hand painted. With many different textures, forms, drawings, colors and symbols used, no two are ever identical.
