the Story

NOMI JEMS is owned and operated by Naomi J-E. She is based out of Chicago, Illinois. The creative spirit developed at a young age started with crafting friendship bracelets and bead work. Over the years she has worked in several mediums; metal and leather being her favorite. She applies her skills to the jewelry collections and leather goods she has produced over the years.

 In high school she was fortunate enough to go to a school that offered metalsmithing. Since then she has been hooked on working with metal. It has been more than 10 years since those high school days.

Adding color to metal has always fascinated her. Nowadays there are so many ways to add color. This is her experimentation with combining color to metal and leather.
