Jason Antwine Jason Antwine is a serial entrepreneur with a passion for creating purpose driven brands that raise the consciousness of his clientele. His latest and most successful endeavor to date embodies that exact aura. In late 2015 Jason turned his passion into prots with the creation of Ancient Aura Jewelry - a culturally relevant line of custom gold plated jewelry pieces. Inspired by his love of ancient indigenous cultures and fueled with a deep desire to inspire others he embarked on a new venture. “I have an entrepreneurial spirit and have created other businesses in the past so I'm always thinking of my next move. I realized that there was a void in the jewelry market for the non-traditionalist that I could ll.” Jason initially started his new business with small crystals that could be worn around the neck and gradually expanded his collection based on revenue, demand, and customer feedback. In less than 6 months Ancient Aura Jewelry had grown to amass a solid customer base and a social media audience of over 30,000 fans and followers. In His Own Words: My true inspiration comes from my children. My goal is to show them the power of entrepreneurship so they can avoid the old 9-5 mentality that most of the old generation pushed us towards. I want to show them the innite possibilities through denite purpose, discipline, and hard work. www.AncientAuraJewelry.com @ancient.aura.jewelry facebook.com/AncientAuraJewelry ANCIENT AURA JEWELRY 48
