Visit Jen Warren's Handmade Jewelry Shop Online!

View Ed's wife Jen's online Etsy-based jewelry store at www.etsy.com/shop/jjsjewelrydesigns.  An excerpt from Jen's Etsy webiste is listed below. 

"Life was flowing along as it tends to do and then, in one dramatic day, my husband of 12 years was diagnosed with brain cancer.  This devastating news was made more challenging by the fact that we have two young boys (7 & 9). Obviously, my life changed drastically, which is a huge part of why I started making jewelry. In times of extreme stress, I find handcrafting beautiful and unique pieces to be very theraputic and even relaxing. It helps to provide  me with something else to focus on when the day-to-day of our life feels overwhelming.  I often think "why didn't I do this sooner?" but it wasn't meant to be before now.  There is clearly a reason why it came to me during this difficult time in my life; I enjoy creating and take pride in my work.  I hope you will enjoy my lovingly-crafted items as much as I enjoy creating them.  I have recently discovered my niece also has been making jewelry so we have joined together to make it a family affair! Thank you so much for shopping at my store!"
