Welcome to jmsearthstones!

Home of jms jewelry designs, featuring hancrafted natural gemstone and sterling silver jewelry.

I'm Joan Seip and I've personally designed and created all the jewelry you'll see on this site.

I've always loved working with natural gemstones and beads and in 2006, after a very enjoyable 18 years working for Metolius Climbing Inc. here in Central Oregon, (thanks guys!), I decided to explore the possibility of turning that passion into my own business.

I started out doing some home shows, festivals, and markets, and received such positive feedback that a website seemed a natural progression.

What you may notice right away are my prices.

When I started, I wanted to make beautiful jewelry at an affordable price available to everyone and I've tried to stay true to that. I'm always searching for the lowest prices and yet highest quality stones and findings so that I can continue to offer reasonable pricing.

Please, take the time to look through my collection and compare what you see here with what you may find on line and in your local shops.

I hope you'll be pleased and that you'll come back to this site again and again as I'll always be adding new items and offering sale items where possible.

Within the site you'll find a stone properties page which can help in your selection as well as a glossary for terms you may not be familiar with. There is also a links page to other sites that I think might be interesting to you.

I welcome feedback and there is a page for you to contact me with any questions or comments you may have.

Sometimes the bracelet might be too short or the necklace too long. There is always the possibility that I can customize a particular selection if you see a piece you really like.

I rarely duplicate pieces and stone availability always changes but it's worth the inquiry.

I guarantee you'll be pleased with your selection, that's my goal with every piece of jewelry I create and I hope you'll find something that speaks to you.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the day!

Joan
