Personal Passion becomes Employment Solution



Taking her personal passion and developing it into an income producing business was not what Regina thought would end up being her first paid job, but as she is discovering doing what you love and never thought was possible is one of the most full filling experiences she has had.
Regina has always had an interest in jewelry and pretty things. She also has this ability talk comfortably with everyone she meets especially if she is talking about the jewelry that she makes and sells. Regina is a natural salesperson when it comes to her creations.
Regina has been stringing(making) necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings from beads and semi-precious stones and metals. She has done a few trunk shows by invitation and has/is participating in craft fairs/shows. Regina also does custom orders for individuals and has filled several of those.
Gina's Jewels has received an order from a local art studio, Artworks, that will sell her
creations. The order from Artworks was facilitated through the Active Employer Council, an organization of local business owners/managers that offer their networks as social capital used for job creation.
Regina continues to explore avenues for marketing Gina's Jewels and ways to expand and grow her new business.
