Jillbeads Jewelry Continues Significant “Growth Spurt” in 2012

After 12 years of designing contemporary fashion jewelry for a limited number of boutiques, galleries and specialty gift shops, Jill Pfefer, a Denver Colorado jewelry designer, began a nationwide expansion of her unique Jillbeads line of fashion jewelry in early 2011 which has continued to date.

Contributing to this dramatic increase in retail outlets and sales has been a fantastic group of wholesale representatives along with a significant expansion of the line which now includes necklaces, pendants, earrings, bracelets, rings and belts. Religious items including Judaica have also been added.

Jillbeads creations are known for their whimsical color combinations and unique shapes. The lead and nickel-free jewelry features a blend of colorful crystals, rhinestones, glass, enamels and resins. Affordability plus an uncommon ability of the designs to complement a wide array of dressy and casual fashions has helped propel the company from a homespun operation to nationwide exposure.

“I am very grateful for the wonderful acceptance of my designs and for the efforts of our fantastic wholesale representatives,” said Pfefer. “It’s gratifying to know that I’ve been able to help retailers grow their businesses while providing jewelry women love to wear.”

Pfefer earned a degree in Fine Art from Clark University in Worchester, Massachusetts. She also studied at the Rhode Island School of Design.

In addition to more than 200 retail locations throughout the U.S., Jillbeads is carried at a number of upscale airport gift locations including the Denver International Airport (Mosaic, Earth Spirit, Greeting From Colorado), Minneapolis International Airport (ZoZo), Cincinnati International Airport (ZoZo), Pittsburgh International Airport (ZoZo) and Reagan National Airport (As Kindred Spirits).

Along with geographical expansion, Pfefer plans continued expansion of the collection. For more information and to contact a Jillbeads wholesale representative, visit www.jillbeads.com or call 303-859-5010.
