Jewels Avelar

Julianna Avelar is a force of nature. A tiny tornado of the best kind, Jewels inspires me with her creative spirit and business savvy. There are lots of laughs and hugs every time we get together.

As the creator of the patented Jewel Loom®, Goddess Loom, and more, Jewels sees the world through a looming lens. I love her approach to creativity and am thrilled to collaborate with her on products that are specially made for SilverSilk: https://jewelloom.com/collections/silversilk

“SilverSilk and the Jewel Loom Weaving Looms go hand in hand! My passion for this gorgeous chain happened one late night when I was playing around to see if it would fit into the grooves of a particular loom I had and sure enough it did. I immediately knew that a loom had to be developed just for this product. I really, really, really love it!” -Jewels
