Hi, lovelies! Happy Monday! Once in a while, a shop comes along that makes us smile and remember why handmade gifts are so inspiring. This week, it is Jill Makes on Etsy!

After seeing this initial tassel necklace, we began browsing the entire shop to see other coordinating pieces. And today we’ll show you our favorite handmade jewelry and gift ideas by this talented artist, based in Louisana where ALL of the pieces are made by hand! (Yay!)

But first, which quality makes Jill Makes stand out? The color! The motto is, “Handmade jewelry for upbeat people” and we couldn’t agree with that sentiment more. You know when you’re feeling a bit down, or uninspired? Well, one pop into the Jill Makes shop will change that! The bursts of color and fun designs will have you thinking of spring, summer, and all the beautiful outfits you’ll wear with these jewelry pieces.
