CLASSES
Jewelry classes by Naomi!
Learn to make the following:
BIO.
Naomi Fron is the designer/creator and owner of NJBF CREATIONS and has been creating her beautiful wire jewelry for 30 years. She is self taught and over the years has developed her own style combining traditional and sculptured wire wrapping styles. Her main goal in designing is to highlight and showcase the stone she is using in elegant and delicate pieces
She began her business in 1985 in Tennessee after having learned how to cut and polish gemstones. She wanted to learn how to make settings to show them off and she chose wire because any size or shape stone could be utilized. Ever since then she has been designing & creating her wire jewelry, traveling from Mass. to Florida, exhibiting and selling at Arts & Craft Shows and at Gem & Mineral Shows and has loved sharing her passion for this art form.
She moved back to Texas in 2009 to marry her high school sweetheart and to share her talents with her home state. You can see some of her beautiful jewelry at www.NJBFCreations.com and at her Etsy Shop, NJBF Jewelry Creations.
