Hello,

     I retired 20 years ago from the criminal justice system, Public Defender Department.  I was also an advocate for the District Attorneys office. I developed a program, which got funded by the federal government, to reduce recidivism.  (Working for the State enabled me to retire after 20 years of service).

    I had problems with anxiety and insomnia so my husband and I went on a retreat to Sedona, AZ.  While window shopping I noticed a crystal bracelet and purchased it.  While bathing that evening I held the red crystal from the bracelet between my fingers and started meditating on love.  My all-over-the-place mind actually remained focused for 15 minutes.   I felt relaxed and slept like a baby. That was the beginning of the JAS Meditation Bracelet.  I made the Bracelet with seven colored crystals, each representing a meditating subject.

    The bracelet required Swarovski Crystal and other supplies, which led me to start experimenting on making jewelry. I started making my own original designs.   I make custom jewelry and love the input from my customers on designs they are interested in.  Together we come up with beautiful designs.  Seven years later, I had some medical problems so I quit selling for awhile, but continued to design.

     I am now back in business designing wedding, special occasion and everyday jewelry.

PERSONAL INFORMATION:  I got married to my high school sweetheart right out of high school.  We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary in March, 2018.  I have two children, 5 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren.  Five of my grandchildren and spouses are in the medical profession.  Three are Registered nurses, one will be a Speech Therapist and the other a doctor.  My husband is retired from GE Airplane, where he was a machinist for 33 years.

I am excited about going to craft fairs, which is something I have not done.  Most of my work has been online or for friends and family.

Thank you so much for reading this. 

Blessings from,

JoAnn Collins-Sanchez
