Kia Ora.
Time to meet the face behind the brand
My name is Ariel Bartlett. I have done many jobs, and now have a few. This is a hobby that all started for me as trying to find happiness and use art and jewellery making as therapy for my post partum depression. I quickly realised this "art hobby" was turning into much more.

I stumbled upon a craft market advert and said, why not, I have made one too many things to keep, and low and behold, people loved my creations. So JAB Rocks was born. I painted rocks firstly, then branched out into handmade jewellery, then picked up my ink pen again, and away I went. Now Aptly named JAB Creative, it encompasses everything I find joy in making. I do commissions, I create community art workshops, I do market stalls, and markets, and all while keeping some rules that are rather strong for me personally. I also sponsor great causes where I can, by providing Jewellery packs, raffle prizes among other things.

My "rules" for my art are as follows;
All my items are handmade, where possible, from very start to end product. I only use recycled frames to save adding more waste to our world. My beads and fixings if not made by me completely, are ethically sourced. None of my artwork is AI, or enhanced digitally. These are purely my opinions, and what I choose for my small business.
