About Jennifer

For Jennifer, life is a juggling of wide and diverse interests. She has always been excited by the process of creation and found outlets for her talents in a number of different areas.

In addition to designing jewelry, Jennifer works as a writer and film director. In 1998 she directed and co-produced the feature film, "Montana," starring Kyra Sedgwick, Stanley Tucci, and John Ritter. The film played at the Sundance film festival as well as on HBO.

Creating jewelry began as a simple hobby, but after being repeatedly stopped on the street by people asking about the pieces she was wearing, Jennifer saw the spark of possibility. Soon she was selling out trunk shows and then began providing her work to select boutiques. Local and national magazine placements were not far behind. Her jewelry is worn by celebrities from Alicia Silverstone to Jane Fonda.

Inspired by a wide variety of materials and designs, Jennifer works with gold, silver, precious and semi-precious gemstones, leather, and pearls, often mixing non-traditional combinations. Her jewelry balances classic and modern sensibilities resulting in timelessly beautiful collections. Many of Jennifer's favorite efforts have been custom pieces, where working with a client results in a unique, personal heirloom, beautifully reflecting the life it was created for.

In her free time, Jennifer can be found training on her bicycle, cooking for friends, and searching for that perfect black handbag.

Jennifer lives in Los Angeles with her husband Jon, and their giant yellow dog Enzo.
