Founded in 1978 by Jim Pettit, a tourism industry visionary with an artist’s heart, Jackson Pacific began with simple hand-drawn brass ornament designs. Jim’s creative spirit shone during his cherished Friday afternoon brainstorming sessions with his team of artists. Over the years, the dedicated group gradually built a treasure trove of designs that now spans decades. This collection continues to allow customers to revisit vintage pieces to commemorate special occasions. Following Jim’s passing in 2011, his devoted wife Gladys took the reins, carefully guiding the family business into the digital era while preserving the artistry that defined Jim’s legacy.
