An old storage shed outside her home became her work area. Roca Jewelry Designs was started in 2012 when Jill became an "empty nester" and was finally afforded the time to seriously engage in latent creative pursuits. Jill is driven by her love for family, her commitment to community, and her need for artistic expression. Currently, she is serving her third term as a trustee of the local school board, a testament to her love of children and public education. Jill is an artist, a gardener, an outdoor recreationalist, a business owner, and above all else, a mother and grandmother! She is also an enthusiastic community volunteer, having served on countless committees and non-profit boards throughout her years in the small rural town of Dubois, Wyoming. Her pieces evolve with the seasons, with new design inspirations, and upon artist "whimsy"! Check in often to see what's new and upcoming with Roca Jewelry Designs, or if you're lucky enough to be in her neck of of the woods, stop by for a visit at Jill's quaint little work studio/retail shop in Dubois, Wyoming! Jewelry pieces from Roca Jewelry Designs are not mass produced, and Jill prides herself on designing unique pieces for each and every one of her customers. A self confessed "jewelry junky", Jill also loves to find unusual, vintage jewelry pieces to "repurpose" into her one-of-a-kind designs. Each item is then artfully assembled employing a variety of innovative metal forging, soldering, molding, stamping, wire wrapping, knotting, and beading techniques. She carefully searches for and selects all of the components used in each piece. Jill combines natural stones, semi-precious gems, crystals, and pearls with a variety of precious and plated metals that are accessorized with natural silks, linens, and vintage leathers. As all jeweler's are aware, the selection of superb materials is synonymous with a fine finished product.
