    I'm Julianna C. Avelar aka "Jewels" the Inventor of the Jewel Loom® Bead Loom. I hold the US Patent and Registered Mark on the Jewel Loom®. Pretty cool right? I never realized how cool until someone said, "you know, you will always be a part of history by being in the US Patent books" like forever! Insert squeal!

    Incase you are wondering what the Jewel Loom® is, here's the schpeel, The Jewel Loom® is a portable affordable easy to use bead loom made from a flexible plastic. In 2013, the Jewel Loom® won an award for Best Innovation in the Arts & Crafts Industry. The Jewel Loom® can be found at most major retailers including Micheals, Hobby Lobby, Amazon, numerous online stores and here in the Jewel Loom® Shop. It has been shipped to many other countries as well as to all 50 States and Puerto Rico! 

    You can make handmade pieces of Beaded Jewelry including bracelets, earrings, brooches and more! I even have a Best Selling Book, "Jewel Loom® Inspirations" and a very popular YouTube Channel where I am always teaching you how to use my looms to make gorgeous items. 

    More about me! 

    I truly love sharing my passion for making precious pieces by hand using some of my favorite tools from the Arts & Crafts Industry. At an early age, I learned to create, whether it was making crafts or learning about farming with my Portuguese family, being a Producer of Creativity was an integral part of my life.

    My mothers Native American heritage embedded a desire in my heart to explore weaving on a loom which ultimately birthed the Jewel Loom® and a line of Designer Looms made of Sustainable Baltic Birch.

    In her own words, “I am beyond grateful for each and every day that I wake up and am given another opportunity to serve and love on my creative community”.

     How I feel about the Jewel Loom® and the looms I designed. 

     The Jewel Loom brand of bead looms stands out because they are designed with a deep understanding of the connection between creativity and the soul. Each loom is crafted with thoughtfulness, combining both form and function, to ensure that the process of weaving is not just a craft but a journey of self-expression and storytelling.

     The wood line of looms in the Jewel Loom® collection is particularly special. They are not just tools; they are beautiful pieces of art in their own right, designed to evoke a sense of healing and tranquility. These looms invite you to connect with the natural materials and the rhythmic process of weaving, allowing each bead and thread to carry a piece of your story. It's this experience of storytelling through the art of weaving that makes the Jewel Loom® looms so unique.

    What truly sets the Jewel Loom® looms apart is the intention behind their design. They were created specifically with women in mind, understanding that bead weaving can be a form of meditation, a way to unwind, and a way to heal. The looms provide a space where creativity flows, allowing the weaver to find peace, purpose, and connection within each piece they create. No other looms on the market offer this same experience—one that goes beyond crafting to touch the heart and soul of the maker.
