About Me
Welcome to Jenna Elam Design, where my passion for the beauty of natural stones and dedication to craftsmanship come together to create unique, handcrafted jewelry. I’m Jenna, a lapidary artist and jewelry designer from Brookville, Ohio, and my love for rocks has been a lifelong journey.
It all started in my childhood, when my Papaw Elam and I would go geode hunting with my parents. One of my favorite memories is finding a geode the size of a basketball, which we later cracked open. Although it was solid crystal inside, it was a treasure to me. My grandma on my mom’s side also sparked my fascination by telling me that "Fairies" left beautiful stones in their garden, and I loved collecting the shiny treasures they left behind.
These experiences inspired me to study geology, but I soon realized that my path didn’t lie in the oil industry, which my program emphasized. I returned home and found my true calling during an internship at a local jewelry store, where I learned lapidary work—cutting and polishing stones to create jewelry. Since 2021, I’ve been crafting unique, hand-cut pieces that capture the beauty of natural stones.
At Jenna Elam Design, I create pendants, earrings, bracelets, and wine bottle stoppers with care and precision. My work reflects both my deep love for stones and the skills I’ve honed over the years. Each piece is designed to be as unique as the person who wears it.
Thank you for visiting my shop and supporting my journey. I’m excited to share a piece of nature’s beauty with you!
