Happy 60th Birthday Jenna

Happy

60

th

Birthday

Foreword

Sue

Turning 60 is not only a milestone birthday but needs to be acknowledged and celebrated.

Life has granted you another life year and we wanted to put something together that would give a glimpse into your life path, but also your Jenna Clifford Design path of 27 years. Something for you to look at and remember why you do what you do.

We do not walk alone, and through life people come into our lives. Some for longer than others, and for many different reasons.

It is important to make connections and have a positive impact on the people we meet.

Happiness is only a possible outcome if we develop the ability to make and maintain deep meaningful relationships with the people around us.

Inside this book, you will find some of the people your vision and your creativity has empowered and on whom your kindness, strength and love has had a life- long impact. Courage is the one attribute that is needed to realise all of the other skills and talents we have- and you have displayed that in abundance. Your courage and ability to stand strong and speak out, to give voice to hidden hopes and needs and to realise dreams, has impacted across the decades. You and your team have armed so many of us.

THANK YOU. Maya Angelou said: “My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humour, and some style.�

I believe she was talking not just about herself - but also describing you.

Gail

Doing life together has been one of the most enriching experiences of my life - from doing business with you to being blessed with our unique sisterhood and friendship.

May your creativity continue to shine like the stars in the sky. May the love and connection we share continue to burn like a cheerful fire burning in the night.

Ronel

I realize in Jenna, that “don’t let your dreams just be dreams” she made me realize, that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Jenny

I can describe my visits to JC in one word: Tantalizing!

May you always dance to the beat of life with the spirit of youth, happy birthday!

Anne

Dreams do come true as a young lady I was determined to wear one of Jenna’s creations and would turn the world upside down for this.

I met Jenna years ago when she was working from her townhouse this is where my first creation was born. Over the years I have acquired a magnificent collection and know exactly where I will go for more.

Visiting the Jenna Clifford Studio is the most rewarding experience as you are treated and spoilt like a Queen. It is bubbles and Bernie that you leave there floating on air and all of your negative thoughts are forgotten. Such a motivator!

Happy 60th Birthday Jenna may the gems continue to sparkle even brighter for you.

Love Anne Dufey

Magda

Hope your birthday is as wonderful and extraordinary as you are. I wish you to enjoy your special day, you deserve it.

Wishing a happy birthday to the most dynamic and successful person I have ever met.

Love, Magda

Happy 60th Birthday Jenna, you are such an inspiring woman and without a doubt very gifted. I always walk with pride and feel gorgeous when I am wearing the JC brand from just a simple pair of Pearl stud earrings to my favourite Gold collection (which I adore). We want to say thank you and we want to Honour your 60 years of life on this earth.

I have been enjoying your amazing brand for over 10 years now.

I enjoy being hosted by your team lead by my dear friend Bernie who always takes care of me and treats me like the Queen that I am...lol!

Please continue being an inspiration and biggest ally for other Women. This I have felt first hand in my personal life and through the hard work we do at the African Women Chartered Accountants that you and the team continuously support.

May you have many more years to come!

Annemarie Gedurente die vroeĂŤ negentigs het ek bewus geraak van Jenna Clifford in Johannesburg.

Dit was veral n.a.l.v. die advertensies in die Sarie tydskrif. My grootste begeerte was die pragtige ring met blou saffiere.

Ek het Jenna Clifford ontmoet en was aangenaam verras. Ek was een van die eerste Renaissance verteenwoordigers van Jenna Clifford, veral in Noord Wes Provinsie.

Dit is waar ons lang verhouding begin het.

Baie liefde, Annemarie Steyger

Antoinette

Wearing my first JC designed piece almost three decades ago, I knew that JC designs will be the only jewellery I will wear for the rest of my life.

JC designs grace my daily attire.

I fall in love with my masterpieces over and again.

At Jenna Clifford studios you are always somebody. You are first recognised as person and then appreciated as client. When you walk out with your masterpiece, you know that you will be back – captive by the beauty that you already have and eager to see what creative designs are yet to come.

I have fond memories of my journey with JC which started from the beginning of the company. This is a journey beyond proudly wearing my JC designs. JC studios create friendships, opportunities for women to shine, and bring about a better society.

Jenna, my best wishes on your 60th birthday. You are the rose that I am wearing in my jewellery and the many life roses which I have I received with my JC purchases. May the love and care you have for others be circled back and fill your life with joy. I wish you many more creative designs to enrich your soul and bless others.

Patience

Jenna has been a force in my life, a phenomenal woman in every way imaginable.

She has been my role model, mentor and teacher for more than two decades. I’ve never met anyone as generous and ready to give more of herself, substance and time as Jenna.

I’m so honored that we now have a friendship and sisterhood where our relationship has transcended beyond just business. She is a rainbow in my cloud. She never tells me what I want to hear but what I need to hear. She encourages me to strive to be more.

On this 60th birthday, I pray that God will bless her with long life, health, peace, wisdom,wealth, favour and love unbound.

The best is yet to come!

Happiest Birthday My Darling Friend!

Natalie

Dear Jenna From the moment I walked into a Jenna Clifford studio I was in awe.

Your beautiful offices, your homes, your master pieces of jewellery and of course you.

Every piece I’ve ever been privileged to wear is something I treasure and appreciate.

After having met you, I will never forget your true words of wisdom and caring advice.

You are an absolute inspiration to me in your art, your love of nature, in business and as a woman.

I’m truly privileged to be part of this wonderful Jenna Clifford family.

Happy 60th birthday! Congratulations!

Heather

My black diamond depicts the essence of me, ‘unusual appearance and qualities’.

I am forever grateful and thankful to Jenna and Bernie for encouraging me to find my inner Goddess!

For teaching me that every woman is powerful and beautiful in her own unique way.

Happy birthday Jenna, thank you for being

Jennifer

1994 was my first love affair with JC’s creative expression and boldness of pieces.

Time with Jenna underlines attentive insight, passion and generous attitude of life that is displayed in all JC bespoke creations.

Dorota’s enthusiasm and love for her clients is a testament to the inclusive richness of love and inspired dynamism which flows from the JC family.

Each JC piece worn, reminds me of how extraordinarily honoured it is to be the caretaker of such exceptional energy and artistry.

Happy 60th Jenna, and Jenna Clifford 27th Birthday’s May the Matriarch continue leading the JC family for many years!

Lynn

Nadine Jenna has been such an inspiration in my life. Always encouraging women in business, and giving advice!

Pair that with gorgeous jewellery and a campaign every now and then, and you have a role model for life.

Diedre

What a privilege it is to wear one of Jenna Clifford’s unique and exquisite masterpieces.

It stole my heart the very first time I laid eyes on it.

At Jenna Clifford studios you are not just another client. You are served hand and foot and spoilt beyond measure.

A quick stop to get your beautiful ring cleaned turns into a two hour coffee session with the lovely Annette!

It is truly an honour to be a Jenna Clifford friend.

Happy 60th birthday Jenna. May you be blessed in abundance and may your legacy continue to shine brightly for many years to come.

Konji

To Darling Jenna, having met and known you since our kids Shayna and Kitsi became friends in Kindergarten, we have had loads of fun, joy, tears, sorrows, successes, crazy times - and all forever etched in my heart.

You taught me to know spirituality deeper, appreciate who I am and life, understand people and circumstances!

Thank you my friend. AND thanks for making my first heirloom real! Love always, Konji

Abigail

I met Jenna in 1992 when she redesigned my original engagement ring.

I was handed over this most amazing detailed creation whilst on honeymoon in Thailand.

That was the start of this long relationship.

I started spoiling myself yearly with my bonuses paid to me and proudly built up a J.C collection which I have only received compliments from on a daily basis.

Most important is that every single piece holds a special memory. My happy place is to visit J.C. for a visit and a catch up.

May Jenna Reign as the Queen of Jewellery design!
