Sheyna (SHAE-nah - which means beautiful) was a team of exceptional people who love to help others create beautiful things. The jewelry design and buy on Sheyna is hand-crafted in gold, silver, and semi-precious stones by women and men in Sheyna's workshops around the world. It uses the same high quality gold, silver, stones and charms found in the best boutiques and shops but it makes every piece to order. Anyone can create beautiful fashion jewelry, necklaces, earrings, bracelets (and soon rings and hair accessories too!) in minutes. Drag and drop chains, stones, charms and beads onto the canvas and put them together in any combination. All the prices on Sheyna are calculated as its customers create so they can make trade-offs between materials, stones and charms to get the look they want at the price they want.
