About Us
Hi I’m Jennifer! I'm a single mama to 3 amazing girls, Joanna, Joy and Jahlyn. . My business began in 2010 during the loss of my daughter Jordan. I was told she had a heart defect and would not be born alive. As I carried her, I began making various handmade things to help me process my grief. I found creativity to be very therapeutic and healing. Eventually, my hobby turned into a full-time job which allowed me to share Jordan’s story and my love for creating.
The Shop
Jordan’s Gems began on my kitchen table with some wire and beads to make jewelry. Then, I bought a $70 sewing machine and started taking over the kitchen and living room with fabric and notions. Eventually, I shared a small back bedroom with my daughter’s crib on one side, and my growing craft supplies on the other. Now half of my basement is my shop and my happy place!
