A couple of years ago I went out of town for a fun girls’ trip, and I packed all manner of cute earrings and bracelets and whatnot so that I would have lots of accessory options when I arrived at my destination.

You girls probably know all about the need for many accessory options.

But what I wasn’t expecting was the fact that once I arrived at my friend’s house, my jewelry was a tangled mess. All of my longer earrings had gotten completely twisted and knotted during the flight, and I spent a solid hour trying to undo the damage.

So when I got home a couple of days later, I sat down and decided I’d solve my jumbled jewelry problem.

For the last two years I have worked on a couple of different prototypes, and when I finally hit on the very best idea, I met with a patent attorney (OH YES MA’AM - I HAVE A PATENT PENDING), found a manufacturer, and started the distribution process.

And now I’m sharing my great new product - which has been selling like hotcakes at Christmas markets - with you.

Everybody, meet The JJ.

(Here’s a secret: “JJ” stands for “Janie’s Jewels.”)

I know it’s hard to gauge the size from the pictures, but The JJ is about the size of a long wallet - only a little bit bigger. It will fit in a make-up bag, a purse, or in the pocket of your suitcase.

So I guess what I’m trying to say is that size-wise it’s terribly convenient.

This is what it looks like on the inside. I figured out a way to hang the earrings instead of trying to fit them in little tiny compartments, and do you SEE how much stuff fits in there? Do you SEE?  You could literally take more than 20 pairs of earrings on a 3-day trip. Quite frankly I don’t know how much more a girl could ask for.  And then the center pocket? The place where you can put all your bracelets? It actually detaches from the JJ - which makes it way easier to pack your stuff and then unpack it when you get where you’re going.  I also love that The JJ can stand up on a dresser or a nightstand or a bathroom counter - because it’s just so much easier to see your jewelry options.  It’s very important to be able to see your jewelry options, girls. If you look, there are also leather strips at the top where you can put your post earrings - the ones that might not need to hang but are so easy to lose.  I really am so proud of it.  And I know you’ll love it as much as I do.
