We Have Jewelry
The Jekyll Island Arts Association has many members who create One-of-a Kind jewelry. Each design is unique, you will not meet someone at a party or reception wearing the same piece as you. Even so, the prices are in line with anything you will find in St Simons, Savannah or Jacksonville. The range of designs varies from dress to casual meet and greet. Come on down to the Goodyear Gallery and Shop, browse a while, you will be able to find something you like! We a have a price range for $5 min to a max of $150, so everything is in between.

We Have Fiber Arts Jewelry is not the only One-of-a-Kind art form you will find at the Goodyear Cottage. We have Weavers, Quilters, Fabric Designers who work in Satins, Silks and even Fur ~ Faux Fur of course. At times, a member has been known to take a cast-off pair of “almost new” jeans and create a unique shoulder bag for that unique gift you will not see anywhere else.
