Jamie Bossert an lapidary artisan from the Blue Springs, Missouri has been fascinated with rocks  since she was 10 years old. That is when she started working with her grandfather tumbling and polishing stones to set jewelry for her grandmother, mother, and aunt.  After working in her father's industrial tool company's machinery shop, she learned  how to cut, grind and drill her own stones.  Her passion for  the simple  river rock stones, the mountains she sees in her travels,  and gemstones shows in the unique and beautiful strands of semi-precious and precious stones that she sells.

Please Note: All beads, beading supplies, and pendants normally available at Beads N Botanicals will be available at a fifteen percent discount, just for the day of the Bead Trunk Show (discount does not apply to beads from the One-Day Only Trunk Show by artisan Jamie Bossert).
