Tiffany Gentile is
not only owner and artisan of Unique Treasures, but a career oriented female with an eye for creativity.
Growing up as an
only child in Andover, Massachusetts, her Mom Denise kept her busy doing
craft projects, helping in the kitchen and having play dates with friends. As she grew older her Dad Anthony helped with math
homework and listened to her recite multiplication tables on the way to school everyday. Tiffany was very fortunate to have
attended private school from pre-school through college, which attributed to her goal driven, hardworking personality.
In 2003 while finishing
her B.S. in finance, she realized creating beaded jewelry was a great stress reliever and ideal way to get her mind off of
studying. With this in mind, along with the encouragement of family and friends, she defined herself as an artisan of jewelry
and entrepreneur launching her own business.
“Ever since she was a little girl she would set up a store in
our house asking me to buy jewelry from her; it was no surprise when she decided to start her own jewelry business,”
says Denise.
The following two
years, while earning her Masters of Science in Finance Degree part time and working full time in Boston’s Financial District, she created this website to share her creations with everyone.
Tiffany, usually
with her Mom by her side, attends craft shows in and around the Boston
area. She offers Make-And-Take Birthday Parties for girls of all ages, as well as House Parties where woman can experience
a jewelry extravaganza in the comfort of their own home. Tiffany hopes to start selling wholesale to local boutiques and eventually
own her own one day.
“I wouldn’t be able to do this without my Mom and Dad’s support,”
says Tiffany, “my Mom is my best friend and I know I can always count on her to be by my side.”
