LOCAL GIFTS: Jewelry

Locally-made Gift ideas Nothing about 2020 has been normal, thanks to the pandemic and its enhanced racism awareness, but StreetWise was blessed with help from its friends and so now this holiday season, we are using our city-wide platform to return the favor. StreetWise vendors are entrepreneurs, and so we are promoting other Chicago entrepreneurs of innovative products – many of them nonprofits – from varied cultures. We are all in this together.

jushshop

Jushshop is run by a Midwest Girl who always loved shopping for herself at flea markets and estate sales. Now she sells affordable jewelry (much of it in the $20 range) that shout where you’re from: Chicago flag cut-outs, 815, UpNorthIntheWoods, Michigan, Great Lakes, Mountains. Or maybe you prefer a turquoise, opal or rainbow bar necklace or symbols like keys, arrows, crescent moons. There are even face masks, because, as Midwest Girl reasons, if we have to wear them, at least they should be in fun fabrics like camo, tie-dye and leopard.
