Wo·man /ˈwo͝omən/: A fierce and powerful being that gracefully embodies the notion of beauty.
Here at Jinja we strive to add to that same empowerment that a woman naturally possesses. We believe all women, regardless of cultural, social, or economic differences, hold the right to stay fierce in their own mind, body, and soul. Of course—where boldness is called upon, so are we. Our striking blue, red, and green coral colors reflect the radiating spirit of the women of Jinja. These women call all different corners of the globe home, and are undeniably the spirit of our business. Without the minds of these special few, the world would be a few pieces short of jewelry.
Before we bid adieu, allow us to introduce.
Elaine Helmig, the founder and heart of Jinja, is constantly reminding us all of the true inspiration behind our mission. “People Helping People.” With her passion for service and constant display of love, Elaine teaches us all how to be a remarkable leader, friend, role-model, and of course, expert in all things jewelry. Elaine’s inevitable awe towards adventure, culture, and diversity has expanded the boundaries of Jinja Jewelry further than any of us anticipated.

Deris, a close friend of Jinja, can be seen above as she gracefully sports one of our new, elegant necklace designs for this season! The contemporary pattern of the silverwork is complimented with the addition of red coral to cultivate a poised yet charming look. Deris effortlessly nailed the piece by incorporating matching rings, earrings, and a bracelet. Despite rocking the Jinja style completely, Deris has a little more exciting news to share. The Jinja Family recently spent a month in Bali to celebrate family, friendship, and the proclamation of love between Deris and one of Jinja’s silversmiths, Octa.
