When Jennifer Meyer was six years old, she would watch her grandmother design and make enamel jewelry. When she grew up, Jennifer worked for Giorgio Armani and Ralph Lauren in their PR departments and those two seemingly disparate experiences inspired her to begin her own jewelry label in 2005, Jennifer Meyer Jewelry.

Her goal was to create the every day pieces a woman wears because she loves it. She wanted classic, versatile, personal pieces that hold up to the rigors of life and shine through it all. That means high quality workmanship in white, yellow, or rose gold, precious and semi-precious stones, and detailed, delicate signature items like the wishbone necklace, nameplate necklace, and diamond-initial Pendant. Her work is beloved by many A-listers and worn to places like the 2013 CFDA Fashion Awards.

These pieces are made by hand in Los Angeles, where Jennifer was born and raised. Her collections are reflective of her everyday life and world travels and change to mirror current interests. Recently bolder designs like an emerald-paved cigar band ring or a lapis/turquoise eye necklace are being introduced that are kept to the same high standard.
From thin gold stacking rings with a single precious stone ($175) to triple-drop earrings of pink and blue sapphires with amethysts and micro-pave diamonds ($35,000) Jennifer Meyer Jewelry ranges through leaf pendants and lapis pyramids with the kind of personalized appeal that says, “this has a love story”. This is the jewelry that means something; a birth or anniversary or special occasion.
She posted a pic on Instagram of her rings with her kid’s names (ruby & otis) and provoked a firestorm of pleas for similar items. The rings are now only available in 3-or 4-letters and have to be custom made, but it is illustrative of Meyer’s commitment to her ideal of everyday, meaningful jewelry that she responded to those pleas by agreeing to add that option to her line.
