About Little Jinxie
Little Jinxie is a small creative business where I make handmade pieces, currently focusing on jewellery. Everything is made in small runs, with attention to how it looks, feels, and holds up over time. It started with jewellery, but it’s not going to be limited to that. I am slowly expanding into other objects like engraved mirrors, handmade pieces, and things that feel even more personal to keep or display. It’s an evolving space for making things that feel special and unique.
About Me
Hi! I’m Alyssa- the disabled diva behind Little Jinxie. I’m 21 years old, autistic, and chronically ill. I live in Hertfordshire, UK, and I run this little shop from my bedroom, with a dog by my side and a hot water bottle on my back. Very glamorous. Very CEO chic.
I was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) when I was a child. It’s a connective tissue disorder, which basically means my body said “freestyle” and just never stopped. I was essentially dealt a shitty hand from the day I left the womb, with limbs that enjoyed flinging themselves out of sockets unprovoked. I also live with PoTS, Fibromyalgia, Bile Acid Malabsorption, Gastritis, Cervical Radiculopathy, and a few other plot twists that are still under investigation. I’ve had to learn to build my life around it, rather than waiting to feel ‘well enough’ to start.
This started as a little therapeutic hobby after my mum got me a crystal bracelet-making kit for Christmas in 2023. I found that keeping my hands busy kept my mind busy, too. My mum had told me that the bracelets I was making were worthy of being sold- that people would buy them. I didn’t think she was serious at first because she genuinely says that about everything I make. But as I made more, I started seeing the vision too. I started on Etsy in early 2024, and now I have a whole website.
I’ve loved crystals since I was about 14. They’re beautiful and meaningful, obviously, but I also love that they’re made under pressure. Feels on brand. They reminded me that if the Earth can create something that pretty, maybe I could too.
Everything here is handmade by me. If you order something, I make it, pack it, and definitely triple-check it before sending it. It started as a hobby, and now it’s my job. I’m learning as I go, but I am dedicated to the craft and incredibly ambitious.
Anyway. That’s the lore. Thank you so much for reading. Diva out 💋
Meet Nels – Chief Vibes Officer
This is Nelson, my one-eyed French Bulldog rescue and full-time emotional support goblin. He’s small, snorty and slightly dramatic. He supervises every order (from the comfort of a blanket), provides moral support when my beads go everywhere, and occasionally barks at nothing to keep me grounded. One eye, endless love. Put that on a t-shirt. Nelbels says hi.
How It Works
Everything at Little Jinxie is made and packed by me. When you place an order:
- I make your piece (if it’s not already ready-made)
- I carefully pack it up
- I check it before sending it out to you
Most pieces are made to order or in small batches, so please allow a little time for me to create and prepare your order properly. For more details on dispatch times and shipping, you can find everything on my Shipping & Returns page.
How It’s Made
Every piece of jewellery is handmade from crystal beads, strung together with intention before being carefully packed. I work with 8mm crystal beads, and for the earrings, I use stainless steel earring hooks for those with sensitive ears. To know more about the materials I use in a specific jewellery piece, please read the description of that product, as I list them out more in depth there!
