Welcome to Jeni Elizabeth Jewelry
Mixing modern with flourishes of a nostalgic style, Jennifer “Jeni” Fairman is a Maryland-based artist who evokes the beauty of nature in her graceful and unique designs. Her studio, Jeni Elizabeth Jewelry, specializes in one-of-a-kind adornments such as brooches, rings, necklaces, pendants, bracelets, earrings, metal gift boxes and judaica. Drawing on her professional background as a trained medical illustrator, Jeni is able to capture the intricacies of elements she finds in the natural world. Botanicals, insects, recycled materials, and other curiosa are transformed into hand-crafted pieces. Jeni’s work interweaves a variety of materials including sterling and fine silver, bronze and other precious metals, vitreous enamel, gemstones, and found objects. The distinguished cicada-inspired designs are her studio’s signature.
“I am often inspired by a geometric pattern or color palette I come across in nature. Insect wing venation, the colors of a misty fall landscape, or petal shape each find a place in my search for inspiration. I love to experiment and I hope the wearer of my pieces is inspired to seek a new perspective of nature.”
One day I will learn when to leave things alone. I had a big meltdown… literally melted part of the finished edge of my piece. Had to stop, breathe, reassessing my design and pivot. The end result will hopefully be better than the original. Boy did I learn a lot though. Sigh… stay tuned. This sketch is my new approach to finishing this once and for all. The last photo is in the rear view mirror… the bottom edge melted. Also the bird is no longer on the white background but is now guilded.
I create unique custom pieces
Many ask, ‘Do you take custom orders?’ The answer is a resounding ‘Yes!’ I adore crafting unique pieces for clients and their loved ones. Birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, Mother’s and Father’s Days, or any special occasion—you name it.
I also craft pieces to honor loved ones, including pets. My process blends mementos, old photos, and found objects to create cherished treasures. It all begins with a photo or a story. Curious to know more? Inquire about starting the process.
