Jocelyn's Jewelry

The world has many hard-working and creative entrepreneurs. Personal-owned businesses are evolving; younger people are starting to expand the business community throughout these generations. I had the pleasure of interviewing a friend of mine Jocelyn Mendoza. She is 17 and created her business that revolves around jewelry. I interviewed her to show the process and effort it takes to have a business.

Question: Can you provide me with a description of your business? What services or products do you offer?

Answer: “Basically I make custom rings on Instagram and they are usually made from wire and plastic beads. I sell them for a really cheap price, so everyone can have trendy and fashionable rings.”

Question: Where did you get the idea for your business? When did you start your business?

Answer: “I kept getting a bunch of Tik Toks of these people making these wire rings. It seemed easy; it looked like a lot of fun. So I thought, I might as well sell them since I enjoyed making them. I started my business in February. I was so excited to order this stuff and make it. The orders came in the middle of school. I was distracted the whole time because I was making the rings.”

Question: How long did it take to perfect the jewelry?

Answer: “I was watching Tik Tok over and over about it. So by the time the stuff came, I knew what to do. My first ring was horrendous, but after three tries, I made a good one for the first time.”

Question: What is unique about your company?

Answer: “I’d say that everything is handmade. I do not buy anything already made to sell. Everything is custom made with my own hands and no one else's.”
