I first started tinkering with the fashion jewelry business in March of 1984, by July 1st of 1984, making this a full time venture. After a short time, I noticed that fancy jewelry sold quicker than every day jewelry. People can get plain and normal every where, they want fabulous. By definition, a special occasion requires special jewelry. Before long I was making prom jewelry, pageant jewelry, and wedding jewelry using Swarovski crystal and Cubic Zirconia. My Swarovski crystal earrings and Cubic Zirconia earrings are among my best sellers
Now Jim Ball Designs can be seen in almost all state-level pageants, is well represented at Miss America and Miss USA, and is seen all proms all over the USA. Notice Miss America, Katie Stam, is front and center on the Home page.
I have written articles in Pageantry Magazine and blog often. Check out the
Blog. To see the jewelry go to the pages with images. The pages are organized by the content. For example the
Crystal Earrings page has all of the crystal earrings. Some can be used for the wedding-for the Bride, The Bridesmaids, The Mother of the Bride, or the Mother of the Groom. Some of the Crystal Earrings can be worn at Pageants and proms as well.
