Through the recent years, multiple students have commenced a small business out of something that began as a hobby. Selma High is proud to promote these businesses in hopes of allowing these students the recognition they deserve. Though many businesses vary in merchandise, the following students focus on jewelry and crystals. Crystals have become such a popular trend and it is no doubt that many fellow students are searching for good quality, yet affordable products. 

If you’re in search of custom made jewelry, Handmade by Belle is the place for you.

“I make everything by hand; wire wrapped rings, crystal necklaces, bracelets, etc,” mentions freshman Angelina Coppola about her business. 

She found herself making rings as a hobby, then others began asking for a variation of items. 

“My business allows me to do what I love and be creative, while also being able to share it with others,” she adds on.
