Today we’d like to introduce you to May Jarkelle.

Hi May, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I started right after highschool with no Plan B i wanted my jewelry brand to work out, i’m from new york so bamboos and custom jewelry was always a big thing for me, wearing it around etc. so why not turn it into a business? i went finding vendors tried many. & look at me today business booming, people can’t get enough of my pieces.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
No it hasn’t been smooth with business it’s always up’s & downs , delays etc but at the end of the day it’s truly worth it just find your audience.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about ShopMayJ?
My business is a top tier jewelry brand , I sell jewelry for people who love statement pieces and items that catches eyes! What sets me apart from others is once i sell it once it’s no restocks so it gives you the urge to collect my pieces. & I am most proud that i never gave up on my brand it’s been 7 years of business. & I want you guys to know i started selling $15 name plates when i first started, I do business alone with no team & i didn’t give up.
