Jewelry Meant to Be Lived In

PRESSIE brings thoughtful design and everyday durability to a growing community of loyal customers

For Jenny Stilley, entrepreneurship has always been less about following a plan and more about following instinct. Jenny built her career with a natural blend of business acumen and creativity—first in the insurance world, then in fashion as the founder of BohoBlu boutiques, and now with an exceptional jewelry line. 

PRESSIE was born from a love of thoughtful gifting and desire to create something lasting. After years of experience designing and curating accessories through BohoBlu, Jenny recognized an opportunity to build a brand rooted not just in style, but in meaning. The name itself reflects her vision: “Pressie” is British and Australian slang for “a little gift." Jenny's pieces feel special, whether given to someone else or chosen for yourself. 

At its core, PRESSIE is about jewelry designed for real life. Each piece is waterproof, tarnish-resistant, and hypoallergenic. Pieces are created to be worn every day, not saved for special occasions. For Jenny, that practicality is just as important as beauty. 

"My heart was yearning for something I could gift confidently and that could be meaningful," she says.

The creative process behind PRESSIE is deeply hands-on. Jenny collaborates closely with designers, often blending their ideas with her own—sketching concepts, refining details, and sometimes building prototypes herself. Her approach is both intuitive and collaborative, shaped by years of experience and a genuine curiosity about people and how they connect with what they wear. Jenny has found new ways to stay inspired, turning to social media to connect directly with customers and even design pieces in real time during live sessions.

That connection is central to everything she creates. Whether through custom engravings, one-on-one appointments, or spontaneous online interactions, Jenny prioritizes making each customer feel seen. PRESSIE isn’t just a product; it’s an experience rooted in storytelling, relationships, and shared moments.
