Artisan Profile - Tonya Troye Tucker Jenkins

In 2002, Creative Gems and Tonya Troye Tucker Jenkins began hosting home parties to sell jewelry and teach others how to make their own creative jewelry. The Creative Director/Designer Tonya began teaching at Chabot Community College and Local Beads Store to support her “habit” of creating awe-inspiring jewelry from carefully selected materials such as vintage glass beads, lockets and brooches, semi-precious stones, metals and textiles. She continues to she formulated wonderful designs for Bay Area Trunk/Design Shows, Jovance Beauty and Wellness, Stalaro’s and Pomegranate Seeds (all located in Vallejo, Ca), under The Troye Tucker Collection...which include the following jewelry lines: Troye Tucker Couture, Hard Rock Gems, and Candy Girl Gems.
