J.Forks Designs (“Dare to Be Bold”)

J.Forks Designs is a Southwest-inspired jewelry and graphic tee-shirt line based out of Bandera, Texas. Since inception in 1999, Jenny Forks cultivated a reputation for designing bold jewelry and accessories using high-quality semi-precious gemstones, handcrafted leather, sterling silver, and beadwork. Together with her husband Cody Ackel, who has been handcrafting leather for over 15 years, they created the never-before-seen signature look of handset stones into leather. This creative style has evolved into a defining characteristic of the J.Forks Designs line.

J.Forks Designs offers a variety of superior quality looks, from delicate and simple to large statement pieces. As a result, J.Forks Designs has released over 50,000 different styles. Today, J.Forks Designs is selling in over 500 stores, in six countries, and is still growing! Wanting to make it a bigger experience, J.Forks Designs added a full-scale graphic tee shirt line that embodies the “Dare to Be Bold” spirit in every design.  

Over the past 20 years, Jenny has fostered a team of people to help execute the company’s mission and vision. Each piece is handcrafted in-house, and even with the production team, Jenny personally works on every single piece that leaves the studio. 

Because J.Forks Designs is not a mass-produced jewelry line, many of the pendants, earrings, rings, and bracelets are one-of-a-kind. In order to provide the most interesting and unique pieces, Jenny spends countless hours sourcing the highest grade materials and works directly with the mines.

I’m Nancy, and I started my business, Go West Designs, in 2011. I make custom, made to order purses, totes and accessories in hair on hide and leather. I design each pattern and make every bag myself at my home in Wisconsin. I work closely with my clients to create a bag that is truly unique to them, incorporating their initials or brand, fringe, turquoise stones, choices of hide and leather, and many other options. My favorite part about my business besides creating beautiful bags is the friends I make along the way.

Jewelry, Hats & Hatbands That Define You

About the Artist:

I come from a family of creative and entrepreneurial individuals.  We all seem to have our own medium that we prefer to work in.  Mine is jewelry, accessories and also home design. 

My inspiration comes from being able to combine texture, color and patterns to create some awesome pieces of jewelry.  Some are one of kind.  The jewelry line has expanded to include some incredible hatbands and distinguishing hats.  The goal is to make something unique and high quality that will be with you for a long time. 

I live in Wisconsin.  It’s a beautiful state that has so much going for it.  It’s my home but many of my designs can be found in the western states in beautiful boutiques.  My husband and I travel frequently to the west and visit great places in South Dakota, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, etc. 

Travel brings inspiration and energy into my designs.  And often I cannot wait to get back to my studio to start the creative process.  It isn’t unusual for me to be working on multiple pieces all at the same time.  There are so many ideas in my mind that I can’t wait to see them come together.  It’s really quite exciting.

My designs have been featured in Cowboys & Indians, CHROME , Western & English Today, American Paint Horse Journal, Western Lifestyle Retailer, Cowgirl Magazine, Tack ‘n Togs and Modern Arabian.

In what little spare time I have, you will find me hanging out with my husband and our 4 Siamese cats, tending to our large gardens, cooking and or just enjoying a good book.

Made in the USA.
