365Atlanta believes in shopping locally and supporting Atlanta-area businesses. SHOP LOCAL! is our picks for local shopping picks for the holidays…and beyond!

If you are looking for a one-of-a-kind gift for a special someone, perhaps someone who really likes jewelry, then today’s feature is for you (or her, depending on how you look at it!). Drea James Designs is an Atlanta-based jewelry design company owned by Jenn Green, who designs and makes every piece. Like many entrepreneurs, Jenn’s story is simple and inspiring. “A friend of mine noticed I was making a necklace for a birthday gift,” Jenn told me. “She suggested I take some pieces down to a store in the Virginia Highlands – they bought almost everything.” And a business was born.

Since all of Drea James Designs jewelry is one-of-a-kind, there is always something unique – something perfect for even the most difficult person to shop for on your list. Jenn also points out that, “commissions are very popular right now, too. It’s a great way to not only design special pieces specifically for friends, family or that special someone, but it’s also a ton of fun to be a part of the creating process.” Commissioning a piece means you can give the gift of jewelry and creativity – let your loved-one design her own piece with Jenn and create a piece that really speaks to her personality.

It’s not too late to think about a special, one-of-a-kind gift! To shop available designs, visit the Drea James Designs website, or contact Drea James Designs to discuss commissioning and other options! And remember, SHOP LOCAL, Atlanta!
