Artist & Jewelry Designer, Jaymii Lynn, takes her cues from nature and her inspiration from the Goddess. Working with sterling silver, semi-precious gemstones and beads formed from natural materials such as exotic roots, nuts, shells & pearls coupled with accent beads made of glass; Jaymii creates authentic one-of-a-kind pieces. Just as in nature, no two pieces are exactly alike.
Having grown up all over the world and traveled extensively, Jaymii’s love of exploration and appreciation of fine living are evident in her jewelry. Presently, many of her pieces have an Eastern flair and reflect the Asian influences throughout her life. The pendants not created by Jaymii hail from India, Thailand & Bali. All are hand selected from independent buyers, utilizing fair trade practices. The photographs depicted in her pendants are original photographs taken during her travels both in America and abroad.
In 1992, Jaymii moved to FL to study Interior Design and Graphic Arts. Upon graduation, she found herself at a cross roads and was questioning the world and her place in it. This quest led her to seek a different path than the one she originally sought. In the following years, Jaymii became fully immersed in the study of kinetics and energy and started an apprenticeship in the healing arts. Her study of energy grew to include crystals & gemstones and their healing properties. To help pay for her education, Jaymii started giving Tarot & Aura consultations. She has read professionally for the last 12 years. In order to further assist her clients, she started designing custom pieces based on their intentions. She devised a way to wear certain crystal and gemstone combinations in order to receive the maximum benefit of their properties. Drawing on her expansive background of design and energy healing, Jaymii has been creating jewelry for over 11 years. Each piece is one-of-a-kind and is designed to inspire. Jaymii believes when you are inspired, you will instill inspiration in others.
From 2000-2004, Jaymii worked and studied at the Omega Institute for Holistic Studies located in New York State’s Hudson Valley. In 2005, Jaymii moved to Costa Rica to “get back to nature” and study the local medicinal plants & herbs. Jaymii’s work can be found in high end boutiques in the New York cities of Rhinebeck and Hudson, Miami Beach, FL, Los Angeles, CA and in Asheville, NC. Her work can also be found in select stores in San Jose and Dominical, Costa Rica. Over the last two years, Jaymii made several visits to Asheville and in late 2006, she made it her home. She loves the mountains and is inspired by the sense of community she feels here. Wanting to contribute to the local community Jaymii often donates her work for charity auctions and gifts 10% of her net profit to local charities. She is grateful for her ever evolving journey and welcomes new opportunities with an open heart & open mind.
