For the past 15 years, Kathryn has been empowering
women to enhance their image through her two businesses,
Jabez Jewelz, her jewelry design company and Professional
Presence, her image consulting enterprise. While coaching
individual clients, Kathryn has challenged them to express
their inner beauty and personality by the use of correct
clothing, colors and accessories. Considering her eye for
fashion and passion for jewelry, Jabez Jewelz was a natural
extension of her image consulting business.
This global venture, Jabez Jewelz, starts with jewelry
being
created by Kathryn in a design studio in Maui. The stones
are purchased from various areas worldwide, and then
silversmiths in Bali add the final craftsmanship. Each
jewelry piece is a work of art. Combining faceted and
semi-precious stones, fossils and other rare minerals and
encasing them in sterling silver create these one of a kind
hand made pieces. There may be pieces with similar
combinations of stones, but no two pieces are exactly
alike due to nature. This jewelry collection is truly unique.
