Songlines by Jewel
We are so excited to share our We Heart this month: Songlines by Jewel. This heartfelt collection of jewelry brings together feelings of heart, earth, and beauty. Songlines by Jewel is a gorgeous jewelry collection and a collaboration by song maker, Jewel, and her best friend, these pieces range from rings to necklaces to earrings to more.
Channeling a Little Bit of Jewel Ethos.
Jewel is an inspiring human who has stayed consistent and true to her art. Traveling across the US, living out of her car early in her career, Jewel performed small gigs and shows until she was discovered. Producing her first album when she was just 21 in 1995, Jewel has since produced works of poetry, excelled in an acting career, continued to produce albums, all while touring and performing.
One of her greatest works in this world is her nonprofit organization called Higher Ground for Humanity, which has a focus on education, sustainable improvements, and building alliances with like-minded organizations. She has also collaborated with other artists to provide clean, sustainable water to those in need and served as an ambassador for the ReThink: Why Housing Matters initiative.
So when Jewel and her team first started this line of jewelry, they originally planned to keep the production local. But what they found was that, as popularity for their curated pieces grew, this wasn’t a sustainable plan. However, they still use local supplies when they are able. They treat their jewelry as almost a talisman of sorts, carefully created pieces deeply infused with intention and meaning. The Songlines by Jewel team likes to say that these pieces are all channeling a little bit of the Jewel ethos, her goodness, and intentions, into the world.
Jewelry Made by Hand
Most of their jewelry is crafted in Telluride, Colorado by Colleen Thompson, Ava Nelson, Christopher Beaver, and Jewel Kilcher—the hands and hearts behind the work. Colleen, Ava, Christopher, and Jewel herself carefully work to imbue each piece with the spirit of friendship, generosity, and kindness. This team stands fast to this being a pillar of the company that will not change as Songlines by Jewel evolves and changes. Songlines by Jewel uses Alchemia Gold, which is a product that uses base metals mixed together to form a durable metal that is hypoallergenic and long-lasting. The metal used is free of nickel, lead, and cadmium, also color never fades or tarnishes.
