Welcome to IdeaJones on Etsy, where 30% of each sale benefits charities helping women, children and homeless animals! Arts, crafts, handmade jewelry (some incorporating vintage beads), antiques & collectibles. We can also create custom jewelry for your special occasion.
Our aim is to create things that are beautiful and have personality, and to do it in such a way that we and our customers can do some good in the world together. Most of the gemstones we use are their natural colors, and wherever possible, we work in vintage beads.
Speaking of vintage -- take a look at our Scrabble (tm) Monogram necklaces. Each starts with a vintage Scrabble tile and vintage beads, and no two necklaces are exactly the same. If you are (or know someone) playful, or want something beautiful for someone you used to play with (or still do), this might be the necklace you're looking for!
We have other pieces available as well, each named for a town, most of them (right now) in California. Want to commemorate that special trip or hometown memory? If you don't see what you're looking for, ask us -- we can create something together.
When you buy, you can choose from several charities and have 30% of your purchase go to one of the following: Wellspring Women's Center, Mustard Seed School (a school for children from homeless families), the kennel at Loaves & Fishes ( a kennel helping the homeless care for the pets that are often their only companionship), or San Francisco Samoyed Rescue.
Have a question? Convo us - we'd love to hear from you. In the meantime, as someone once said, "May you live as long as you want to -- and laugh as long as you live."
Northern CA,
