Jolica spent many hours worried about thier team of artisans in Chile following the recent earthquake and tsunami that tore through with enormous impact. The quake registered 8.8 on the richter scale and centered in Chile's city of Concepcion. Jolica's team of artisans are located north of this city and while many buildings were damaged in their area their team is safe.Carlos and Jessica reported to Ted that their workshop is a mess with paints and other materials scattered in many different directions. They lost 1,000s of pieces that were in kilns in the workshop when the quake hit. Electricity is in short supply and while they do have lights there isn't enough energy to run the kilns yet. Jessica said that the team would spend this week together cleaning up from this horrible quake.
Ted sent them a message on behalf of all Jolica's Gift Consultants that our thoughts and prayers are with them during this difficult time. They appreciated knowing that we were concerned and worried for them.

The Beauty of Glass
The workshop of Carlos and Jessica specializes in a unique process that seals color between fused pieces of glass resulting in pieces that will never lose their color. Each necklace is then finished off with the perfect string - from black rubber cords to complimentary colored cotton string. Add the matching earrings and you have the perfect gift either for yourself or for a special friend.
