Austin, Texas

From a young age Jen was drawn to the creation of tiny things. That tendency blossomed into a love of arts and crafts, and then focused into the medium of clay, building both functional and sculptural ceramics. Subsequently, and born from an introductory metalsmithing class in Florence, Italy in 2007, Jen's jewelry path ignited. The exposure to a medium that embodies controlled expression and precision in contrast to the imperfect and variable world of clay, was instantly captivating. Jewelry, and more specifically old-world traditional handcrafted jewelry, presented Jen with the best of both worlds. She discovered an ideal combination of skill driven craft, small scale manipulation by hand, and the undeniable function jewelry has as wearable art, both durable and symbolic, and its long-standing form of significance that transcends time. 

 

Originally from Colorado, Jen transplanted to San Francisco for almost 7 years, where she continued her jewelry training at Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts and elevated her business one customer, one class, and one retail account at a time. She currently lives and works from her home studio in Austin, TX where everything is 100% handmade in-house.
