Alright ladies (and man friends of ladies who gift them)…I’ve been working on this for the past two months and am SO excited to finally release this blog post. Most likely you’re seeing this because we’re connected on social media, therefore you probably have seen me post about a new jewelry line I’m constantly talking about: Christy Jean. The reason I’m so excited about this is because I finally found a jewelry line that not only fits my style and my needs, but I know it will fit the needs of everyone I know… whether we’re friends, coworkers, friends of friends, family, or just basically anyone. Here’s why:
A) the pieces don’t look EXACTLY like every other basic jewelry line out there // it is unique
B) despite A, it DOES follow the latest trends i.e. tassles, drusy embellished rings, earrings and necklaces, chokers and much more…
C) it’s for a cause: a portion of proceeds go to charity (list of charities here)
D) it was created by an outstanding woman from Plano who decided to follow her dream and create her own line of jewelry
E) it’s affordable – can I get a “FINALLY!!”
F) before I run out of letters in the alphabet…. it is quality jewelry as many pieces are either dipped in gold or sterling silver
Before I continue, I think it’s important to know the story behind how I met the creator and founder of the line, Jeannie Barsam and how we began our partnership. I am young in my career and am always interested in meeting new people through networking. A coworker of mine, Gernelle Nelson, started her own blog and photography business and to jump start her business and contacts, she attended a networking group in North Dallas called Dallas Women Entrepreneurs. One day she was nice enough to ask me to join her. Not sure how I could contribute to this meetup considering I didn’t have my own business, I said “yes I’ll go!” in hopes I’d figure it out! And that I did.
During the meeting, I met several passionate women who were excited to meet me and share their business with me. I had a great time and currently continue to attend these meetings, but something immediately caught my eye as I was heading home for the night. As I was making my way towards the door, I noticed a table that was swarmed with women. As I inched my way closer through the crowd, I peeked through the groups of women and saw several sets of jewelry that looked like something out of a Kendra Scott or Nordstrom catalogue. Was this another Stella & Dot or Chloe & Isabelle type of line? No… Was it a local boutique? No… But the pieces were so trendy.. and they fit my style! (which is hard with jewelry as I admit to being too picky). I had to stop and talk to the woman behind this new and unknown jewelry line. After getting a moment to speak with Jeannie, she told me she hand made much of the jewelry herself and just began selling this year. I immediately shared with her that I was in marketing and would love to help get her social media up and running and build an online presence for her new business. She gave me her business card and the rest is history.
Jeannie has an incredible background and is a true inspiration for all women who have a desire to build a successful career. She held several powerful positions at huge retail companies including Gap, Old Navy, Charlotte Russe, Talbot’s and most recently retired from Zales. Instead of kicking back and enjoying life now that she’s done with the hustle and bustle of retail, she decided she wanted to do something more with her free time. Passionate about giving back and helping those in need, she decided she’d create and sell jewelry that would benefit charity.
I am beyond thrilled to share this new line with you and I hope everyone can see what I can see in this line. There are two ways to view and purchase the jewelry:

Good morning,
My wife and I attended Cody’s Friends fundraiser a couple weeks back. I purchased an agate ring, which my wife absolutely LOVED! Unfortunately the rock has separated from the ring. How do I go about getting it repaired?
Hi Scott! I’m so glad to hear you had a good time! You can contact Jeanie – her website is ChristyJean.com
