Welcome to j. Frances Design! My name is Jillian Frances Lare, and I hand-craft each and every piece of jewelry on this site by hand in my little Central Iowa Studio. I have been creating and making jewelry in different forms for as long as I can remember. Around ten years ago, I began to take my designs more seriously and began using semi-precious stones, premium glass beads, and vintage beads, buttons, and findings which I incorporate with sterling silver, copper, and bronze. I also enjoy using a material called Precious Metal Clay to create special silver pendants and earring charms of my own design.
I make jewelry because I love creating one-of-a-kind and limited edition pieces that make each woman who wears them feel special and unique. Some of my favorite projects are custom designs commissioned as a gift or for a special event like a wedding.
I am also an interior designer and blog about life in Iowa, interiors, style, food and other topics at my website http://www.jillianlare.com.
Some of the technologies we use are necessary for critical functions like security and site integrity, account authentication, security and privacy preferences, internal site usage and maintenance data, and to make the site work correctly for browsing and transactions.
