WOMEN TO WATCH

Dawn Oakley Jones

Executive Brand Manager
Sissy’s Log Cabin

Founded in 1970, Sissy’s Log Cabin is the Mid-South’s largest family-owned jewelry store. As daughter-in-law to owners Bill and Sharri Jones, it’s been a privilege to be part of the store’s journey and growth. Serving as executive brand manager, you can find me modeling the store’s newest looks, growing our social media presence or helping clients curate their jewelry collection.

PRESSING QUESTIONS

Best advice I ever received

My family has a saying, “You’ll have that.” Anytime life gets hard, I can hear my dad saying this phrase. It always helps me to roll with the punches.

The one thing I wish people knew about my field

The jewelry industry is always changing and it’s a lot more complex than people might think. I’ve enjoyed traveling to trade shows and expanding my knowledge within the field.

One practice I use to maintain my mental health

NOOMA. If you haven’t heard of it, give it a Google and give it a try!

What I learned from my first job

“If you aren’t five minutes early, you are 10 minutes late.” This is something I try to live by in my personal and professional life.
