Jacqueline Finn always had a passion for making jewelry, but when she turned her hobby into a career and started Jac-Out-of-the-Box jewelry it didnt take long for the world to take notice. Her unique pieces: wired and beaded rings, bronze and silver bracelets, and earrings are based around an ancient technique that involves carving designs into cuttlefish bones, a plentiful product on the Cape Breton shoreline. Finn learned the technique at the Cape Breton Centre for Craft and Design in Sydney, where she rents studio space and credits the area with inspiring her work. I love Nova Scotia, she says, my pieces have a bit of an organic look and I think it comes from living in an area as beautiful as this
Within a year of starting her business Finns creations were discovered by a company that creates gifting suites at celebrity events.
