After attending Parson's School of Design in NYC, I designed a few pieces of jewelry for family and friends. I was encouraged to start my own business and in 1988, Nanette Orijinels was established.

Originally marketed through local craft shows in NJ, my medium was polymer clay. After my daughter Lynette was born, the focus of my business was on wholesaling. The first trade show I participated in was in 1993. Within 3 years it became a wholesale only business, marketing my designs to upscale boutiques and gift shops, & mail order catalogs, across the country. In 1997 I relocated to Florida where my business and new life are more inspired with the great climate.

My design medium evolved into pewter shortly thereafter. Originally working with caster, I took the plunge, in 2003, invested in equipment and now run all the casting production in-house. This gives me much more ability to control my production time and produce new designs quickly.

In 2001, my son Aydan was born, and my little family of "orijinels" continues to make for a busy life and business!

I have been very fortunate to have enjoyed creating fun designs for my customers for over 15 years.

Our designs begin by sculpting detailed images using intricate details, then they are cast in pewter. They are embellished with handpainted accents, charms and Austrian Crystals. Many pieces feature our unique Clay/Resin Inlay. All pieces are signed by the artist."Creating Art has always been a big part of my life.

I have always loved making things with my hands, for as long as I can remember...."
