    Nanette has such a sense of style and humor that shows through in every collage. I love the variety from collage to collage!

    Know Nanette Jordan’s jewelry. Stylish, fun, creative, beautiful, one of a kind jewelry. Seeing the creative way she does collage is fun to see. She really is a multi-media artist.
