meet: JacQueline Sanchez
Creator of
JacQueline Sanchez Jewelry Design

               
 

       
JacQueline Sanchez has forged a life and a livelihood by leading from the heart. Years before starting her eponymous jewelry line in 2002, the Atlanta-based jewelry designer discovered her love for creating jewelry through, well, love itself. Her boyfriend (now her husband) was an ardent Grateful Dead fan and enticed JacQueline to travel around the country with him to see the band play. To pass the time while on the road, she took up making “dancing bear” earrings from sheet silver that she pierced out into individual earrings. She was quickly hooked. She sold every pair of earrings as fast as she could make them and put her profits toward college at the Texas Institute of Jewelry Technology, where she learned the fundamentals of jewelry design, fabrication, and stone setting.

Prior to starting JacQueline Sanchez Jewelry Designs she worked as a bench jeweler for more than 10 years to refine her craft and technique. She currently lives and creates in Atlanta with her husband and son.
