Jovee Handcrafted 3.73

Born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, I've been making jewelry since high school. I am completely self taught. I learned the hard way, practice, screwup, practice, make better, practice, make perfect. When I first started making jewelry all my girlfriends, their moms, and stores wanted my pieces. I did this for a while and then lost my passion for it around the time I went to university.

Years later, I moved to Victoria, BC. and I rekindled my love for making goods. I started off small and sold just jewelry to friends and friends of friends. Then a few stores picked up my line and have been selling my jewelry for a couple years. I spent some time in Arizona during the gem show a couple years ago and learned a lot about the metaphysics and healing powers of crystals and gem stones which then became the main focus and inspiration of my current jewelry line. All the stones and crystals you see in my jewelry are hand picked by me with the best of intentions to heal, promote wellness, happiness, and stability.

In the last few years I have expanded my line to include leather goods for both men and women as well as jewelry. The Island is a wealth of inspiration. From the ocean and beaches to the vintage motorcycles that I help build on the weekends, Victoria, BC became my muse. I take great pride in my pieces. Like with my jewelry, all my leather goods are hand made. I taught myself everything and take great pride in carrying on the tradition of hand crafted leathering. I do not use any machines or presses. Every hole is hand punched, every stitch, hand stitched. I polish and dye the leather myself. I make pieces that will last and look even better with age. Pieces that you can kick the crap out of if you want and the only thing that happens is that it looks even better than when you bought it.

I am a one (wo)man band. I work really hard and believe that quality should never be comprimised. Everything I sell is made with integrity and the best possible supplies I can get my leather stained and calloused hands on. I only make goods that I would want myself which in all honesty, makes it hard for me to sell sometimes!



Thank you so much for swinging by!
