Fed up with what she calls a "tsunami of incivility" running rampant in our communities, schools, homes, workplaces and on the athletic playing fields, Dr. Scribner set out to bring greater civility and harmony to our lives through more respectful communication and a greater understanding of each other.

"If we are nice to just one person, like letting someone cut into your line of traffic, that person will feel good and consequently be nice to someone else.  You see, civility IS contagious.  We can spread it from one person to another.  It can become an epidemic!" says Scribner.  "Basically, it's not difficult.  All you have to do is choose to Just Do What's Right."

The objective of the three seminars of Wise Monkeys Communications is to help folks learn to Just Do What's Right.  Scribner thought she might help participants take the message home with them and pass it on to others by offering a bracelet for purchase at the conclusion of each program.  When she asked a jewelry designer to put together a bracelet, her friend suggested Shayna design her own bracelets.  She did and she found she loved it.

Now with several Signature Designs and Collections, Jewelry Designs by Shayna includes bracelets, neckpieces and earrings each uniquely designed to help spread the message of the Wise Monkeys...See No Evil, Hear No Evil and Speak No Evil.  If we follow this advice we will choose to Just Do What's Right.  Each piece includes the designer signature charm of the Three Wise Monkeys.  (no charm on the earrings)

It is also Shayna's hope that the image of the Wise Monkeys carried on every piece of jewelry and also on a variety of items that include mugs, totes and T's and a line of Wise Monkeys Kids products teaching good character traits and behavior, will become a reminder to all of us to choose to Just Do What's Right and help spread civility.

Shayna's jewelry designs incorporate semi-precious gemstones, sterling silver, 14kt gold filled pieces, Swarovski crystals and artistic glass beads including lampwork, millefiori, Czech, and designer pendants.  All Jewelry Designs by Shayna are personally designed and handcrafted in the heartland of the United States.  Each piece is one-of-a-kind, crafted with critical attention to detail and designed to complement contemporary fashions and colors.

Because all our pieces are handcrafted and include semi-precious gemstones, each is unique and unlike any other.  These one-of-a-kind pieces may not be duplicated exactly.  Please allow for variations in the stones…in their color, size, shape, cut and striations.  Designs may vary.  In some instances, specific stones may be unavailable.  In these cases, we will make appropriate substitutions.  You may be assured. however, that in the creation of every piece we will maintain the same attention to detail and high quality.

Shayna enjoys working with individuals to design original pieces for weddings, gifts, corporations and not-for-profit organizations.
