About Oohjacquelina & Team


Handcrafted Bridal & Fashion Jewelry

Oohjacquelina is a handcrafted jewelry design company based in Brooklyn, NY and New England. It was created by artist Jacquelyn Wells in 2010 right before graduating from Northeastern University where she studied music and business. 

With a small team we quality handcraft every piece with hypoallergenic metals. Our ear wire and dainty chains are either pure sterling silver or 14K gold fill, ensuring hypoallergenic and non-tarnish materials. Our tagline is "quality handcrafted to last" because we want you to wear our jewelry for many years to come, not just a few weeks.

Hand hammering, wire wrapping, freshwater pearls, semi-precious gemstones, and thread earrings are our specialty.
