Jannie Bean
Some things are meant to be, and some people are fortunate enough to find their passion early in life, and Jannie Bean of Jannie Bean Designs at 152 2nd Street in Highlands, is proof of that.
During her junior year in college, Jannie accepted an apprenticeship doing wax work in jewelry design. The rest is history. She eventually purchased the Minnesota business she apprenticed at and has never looked back.
Fast forward to 2016 when her husband, Tom, arranged a visit with his old college roommate who happened to live in Highlands. During that visit here they fell in love with the town and discovered a business for sale that was right up their alley. That business was Drake’s Diamond Gallery and once again, the rest is history.
Jannie and Tom purchased the business, and they quickly rebranded it with their own vision. While diamonds are still their calling card, and a girl’s best friend, Jannie quickly infused the business with her creative mark and love of all things gemstone.
Here you’ll also find pieces incorporating colorful stones – aquamarine, pink tourmaline, amethyst, opals, sapphires, citrine, tanzanite and pearls.
The gallery is truly a place where everyone can find what they are looking for, and there is something for every budget and taste. Consider your classic sapphire, perhaps most loved in a classic ring setting surrounded by diamonds, but available here in not only that form, but also a modest band with smaller stones, and a modern, bold one-of-a-kind statement piece.
Jannie Bean Designs is a full-service gallery and can repair, appraise or restore any of your pieces. They will also be happy to work with you to design the perfect new piece, or to reimagine a piece that you have that is just too special to part with, but not quite to your taste.
Stop by today at 152 South 2nd Street or call them at (828) 526-5858.
