Silpada Jewelry – The Amazing Story of Bonnie & Theresa
The story of Silpada Jewelry begins in the mid 1990's with a chance meeting of two women, Bonny Kelly & Theresa Walsh, when they both signed up to be room mothers at their sons first grade classroom. Right away they both hit it off because for one thing they had so much in common, including a love for art, creative design and sterling silver jewelry.
Bonnie & Theresa Both Needed Extra Cash
Coincidentally, another thing that they both had in common was a need for extra cash. While they weren't poor, the fact remained that both Bonnie and Theresa relied on their husbands as the main breadwinners in their families and needless to say their volunteer jobs as room mothers paid them nothing.

Without Having To Work At a Job With Regular Hours
Along the same lines, one common goal that the two women also shared was to be able to earn some extra money without having to take on some type of job with regular working hours. So they both ended up getting together in their spare time, collaborating on a few small casual business ventures that just seemed to never seemed to pan out. “Too much work for too little money.”
Doing Something That They Both Loved – Selling Jewelry
Finally they both decided that if they were going to do something to earn extra money, it may as well be something that they both loved and the one commonality that they agreed to have a go at was making and selling sterling silver jewelry. So they both squirreled away $25 each from their grocery shopping funds and dove in head first on their project.
The Silpada Jewelry Line Is Launched In 1997
They sold their first creations at craft fairs and weekend parties at their friends homes and it wasn't too long before their friends began to take notice. They were having so much fun! Their parties were a success and at the same time the money was starting to add up. So in 1997, after countless successful parties and finding themselves being confronted by several friends wanting to climb on board they made it official and launched the Silpada Jewelry line.
Today There are Thousands of Silpada Sales Reps
They both invested all their their money into creating an exclusive sterling silver jewelry line that was featured in their very first catalog. They invited in all their friends who wanted to become their first independent sales reps and the rest is history! In short, its been a smashing success and today there are literally thousands of Silpada Jewelry sales reps making money the exact same way that Bonnie and Theresa did when they first started out.
Their Story Shows That Anything Is Possible
Their story shows that with a quality product and a commitment to succeed and have fun while doing it, anything is possible. It also shows that women with family commitments don't need to choose work over family. That with some ingenuity and the willingness to network with friends and acquaintances who can open their homes for occasional weekend showings, it is possible to earn extra money with Silpada Jewelry
