Joanne Daley

Driven by a lifelong love of design and an insatiable entrepreneurial spirit, Joanne Daley designs innovative and customizable jewelry for her Clique line.

The Scottsdale resident has run J. Daley Design for two years and creates three distinct lines of women's jewelry.

The Clique line features sterling-silver and semiprecious-stone bracelets and necklaces, belts and earrings. They close magnetically and have interchangeable elements, allowing wearers to create their own looks.

Not only have Daley's magnetic "clicking" closures solved the frustration of putting on a bracelet yourself, they allow women to customize their accessories with Chinese turquoise, jade, carnelian and other materials.

"I have a natural hunger for color and texture and shapes and balance," says Daley, 58. "This is my passion; I do it at least 10 hours a day."

Daley used to do home makeovers but needed a creative outlet on a smaller scale because the furniture was getting too heavy to move.

She also designs the Smallchange line of interchangeable designs for budget-conscious customers and the J. Daley line, a non-magnetic line of necklaces and earrings made of sterling silver and semiprecious stones.

14K Small CZ Star Stud Earrings, $17.56


Sterling Silver & 14K Accent Genuine Semi-Precious Amethyst Braided Bracelet, $451.58


14K Two-Tone Gold Oval Belt Buckle Caviar Hoops, $134.22

I'm trying to find J. Daley's jewelry. I was recently in Scottsdale but the number listed on LinkedIn was no longer in service. If anyone has a way to contact her, please contact me at KKimball@EssaGlobal.com. Thank you!
