I'm Jeanette Quillen, and I started Isabella Handcrafted Gemstone Jewelry in 2000.

Isabella is currently sold in stores and boutiques in a variety of cities worldwide, including Kaohsiung, Taiwan; Oslo, Norway; London, England; Port Elizabeth, South Africa; Toyohashi, Japan - as well as many select locations in the US.

I have always been captivated gemstones - created by trace minerals and elements of the earth. Their history and lore is fascinating. I find semi-precious gemstones far more beautiful than diamonds, especially tanzanite and cognac topaz.

As new gemstones are being discovered and new techniques devised, we will continue to bring you the best choices for many years to come.
