THANK YOU HI, I’M ANIE Thank you for purchasing the award-winning JOOLTOOL™ X System. I designed it with YOU in mind. In case you didn’t know, I began my career at a very young age as a jeweler, designer and gemologist for my father’s business. That’s me in the picture above, working at the bench when I was just 11 years old. Customers’ pieces had to be finished quickly and beautifully so I constantly created new tools to make work easier and more productive.
