Welcome to Between the Beads

It started on our coffee table with a handful of gemstone beads, a spool of elastic cord, and a wild idea — what if we built something that felt as genuine as it looked?

At J. Parker, every bracelet, necklace, and stack carries part of our story — and the stories of the women and men who wear them. You won’t find mass production here. You’ll find two men in a Texas studio (more often, our dining room table) stringing stones, laughing too loud, and chasing that perfect balance between strength and beauty.

Between the Beads is where we’ll share what inspires us — from gemstone meanings and design notes to market weekends, style musings, and the moments that shape our craft. It’s not just about jewelry; it’s about confidence, connection, and the art of showing up beautifully in your own life.

Pull up a chair. Stay a while. There’s plenty of beauty to go around — and we’re glad you’re here.

— Nick & Johnny, Founders of J. Parker
