Hi, I am Judi and the owner and CEO of Judi’s Jewels. I am a full-time registered nurse with plans to retire in the next 3-5 years and hope to be a paparazzi independent consultant full-time. I have been a long-time customer of Paparazzi. After consulting with a tax accountant in 2023, I decided to join paparazzi in July initially as a tax break. It is a good fit because I love jewelry, especially rings and it must be affordable. I have always worn custom jewelry, but my ears are sensitive and get irritated. Paparazzi’s Jewelry is lead and nickel free, so I have never had any further issues wearing earrings. Being an independent consultant has pushed me out of my comfort zone and I am learning so much about being a small business owner and seller. My family has been very supportive of my vision and help me with all aspects of the business. I love meeting people and sharing Paparazzi jewelry, they are so surprised how affordable it is and the gorgeous pieces. I can’t explain the feeling I get when someone wears the jewelry, they walk differently and like being seen-it’s a confidence booster. Empowerment! Judi’s Jewels is part of my business, Lotus Legacies LLC. My logo design has a special meaning, the lotus flower signifies a transformation I went through when I did not feel my best and I went through a journey of rediscovery, a “rebirth”. Legacy is important to me as it was to my mother, I want to leave a financial legacy to my children and their children. My logo was designed by my daughter and if you look closely you can see a swan, my mother loved swans so it is a tribute to her.
