About Oohjacquelina
Oohjacquelina is a handcrafted jewelry design and Permanent Jewelry company based in Boston, Massachusetts. It was created by artist Jacquelyn Wells in 2010 right before graduating from Northeastern University.
An artist her entire life, Jacquelyn studied Fine Art and Art Metals throughout school and has a Music & Business Bachelors of Science degree from Northeastern University. After beading and handcrafting jewelry from her Great Aunt's vintage collection as a child, she started creating more intricate work. After taking various metal-smithing classes, she began a unique line of jewelry hammered, drilled, shaped, and hand cut from high quality metals. She elevated her skills to create timeless bridal jewelry, headpieces, and accessories and has worked with thousands of brides and women around the world.
Oohjacquelina was featured in Vanity Fair, ELLE, New York Bridal Fashion Week, and as a Designer to Watch at Paris Fashion Week. She gains inspiration from working with people in person to create whatever they’re looking for and has worked with many non-profits to raise money for their causes. Oohjacquelina has various pop-up locations seasonally in New York City, New Hampshire, and Southern Maine.

Oohjacquelina's tagline is "quality handcrafted to last" because we want you to wear our jewelry for many years to come, not just a few weeks. Our ear wire and dainty chains are either pure sterling silver or 14K gold fill, ensuring hypoallergenic, waterproof and non-tarnish materials.
We couldn’t do it without our amazing team.
Meet Oohjacq’s General Manager at @bostonpublicmarket, Naomi Oka ! You may have seen her doing permanent jewelry or perhaps she custom made you a necklace on the spot! As a child Naomi grew up collecting rocks and stringing plastic pony beads for fun. She decided to continue her passion in craft by pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Jewelry/Metalsmithing at MassArt, where she fell in love with lapidary and using the pulse arc welder. It allowed her to make whimsical pieces with hidden mechanisms using hand polished gemstones. After graduating she gained experience in using machine & laser engraver, as well as CAD. She grew appreciation for working with machinery and technology in the process of jewelry making.
