One of the things I love about jBloom is that our brand is headquartered in my backyard.  Well, not in my LITERAL backyard, lol but in O’Fallon/St. Charles/St. Louis/THE LOU if you live here… in MO.  The city where everyone loves toasted ravs, Imo’s Pizza and Nelly. 😊

Here are a few of my favorite things about jBloom and Permalinx:

• jBloom is female-led. Our owner and founder, Jennifer Bonacorsi… my dear friend and fellow lover of accessories, Free People, and serving others… was a special education teacher with an eye for fashion and style.  When she wasn’t busy teaching or raising her four young daughters, she began hand stringing jewelry in her basement.  Her hobby and love for creating a meaningful way to Wear Your Story blossomed into what we now know as jBloom.  What a beautiful God wink that was over 11 years ago!

• We offer a unique approach to making jewelry meaningful. Our specialty is creating custom and personalized pieces through traditional jewelry options or permanent jewelry experiences.  We can take any photo, handwritten note, image or design and turn it into a beautiful piece to wear or share with others.  Our permanent jewelry experiences offer options for special charms, and laser etched bars or coins to further wear your story every day.  Custom chill cups are another way we can add a personal touch to any gift giving opportunity.

• We give back!  I’ve been with the Ronald McDonald House Charities of St. Louis for 24 years and love any opportunity for one of my passions to bless the other.  Every November, we provide the opportunity to sponsor a necklace to be gifted to a Ronald McDonald House Mama on Christmas Eve.  We all know how busy the holiday season can be.  Imagine caring for a sick child while trying to keep the season magical for your family.  This small gesture of kindness from one mom to another is the highlight of our year!

I’d love to hear your Two Cents!  Do you have a favorite?!
