Meet the Makers

Jacquelyn Wells’ journey began in her great aunt’s attic, surrounded by vintage jewels that sparked a lifelong passion. Now, as the creative mind behind Oohjacquelina Jewelry, Jacquelyn specializes in hypoallergenic, one-of-a-kind handcrafted jewelry and accessories made with semi-precious stones, genuine pearls, and crystals. Oohjacquelina Jewelry customers are treated to stone customizations and ring / chain sizing on the spot right at the market!

Jacquelyn sees being an AAPI business owner as a testament to taking the path less traveled and embracing bravery. She hopes to inspire others in the AAPI community to follow their passions rather than feeling compelled to conform to the corporate world. “Don’t give up. Dream big, and take the little steps day by day. Figure out your demographic. Be smart about where you spend your time, energy, and money: we all only have so much!”
