About the Artist or Work:
Jennifer creates jewelry that is more like wearable art out of recycled sterling silver and gold with lots of unique or rough gemstones. Very artsy style that is wearable with jeans or your little black dress.
Where do you find your inspiration? 
The stones are so amazing to me like works of art. I don't buy a stone unless I can see the piece I would make with it.

Favorite Restaurant or Shop in Doylestown:
Starbucks!!! Or Jules pizza

About the Artist or Work:
Self-taught, self-inspired. I love creating unique pieces of jewelry, which are sometimes asymmetrical- it's nice thinking outside the box! I pride myself on my one-of-a-kind creations. Its nice knowing that you won't run into someone wearing the exact same piece of jewelry that you are wearing.
Where do you find your inspiration?
I love geometric shapes, so I like finding different ways to work with them. Not to mention my love of "up cycling" as seen in my many cork items!
