My name is Desmond Willoughby from Queens, NY. I've always been entrepreneur-minded since in my late 20s (I'm 50 to date of me creating this ebook) so when I saw an opportunity to do something I love and make profit from it, I went for it.

What made me get into making handmade jewelry? In 2014 a friend of mine wanted me to meet him in the fashion district of Manhattan, NY at a particular shop that sells supplies for making jewelry. Once there at the store he basically showed me how he made prayer necklaces and beads by putting together various precious metals and bead stones. Overall he gave me a quick crash course. I instantly became fascinated more so of the idea that I could make my own jewelry to wear.
