Influenced by the strong, simple lines of modern architecture, Jeannie Hwang's designs embody a classic elegance. A stainless steel clasp ingeniously fastens a band of stingray skin to form a cuff bracelet. A purist pendulum dangles through a loop, creating an asymmetrical necklace. Imaginative exercise in geometry combines with a subtle use of color to create clean, urbane designs for the modern day minimalist.

Jeannie began making jewelry while living in Melbourne, Australia, leaving behind a career in market research to pursue her true passion. She continued her informal education in Amsterdam, learning from books and seeking guidance from a local professor of metalsmithing. After graduating from San Francisco's Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts, Jennie completed a two year apprenticeship with a Master Jeweler where she honed her skills in wax carving, model making, casting, finishing, fabrication and bench work. She now works from her own studio in San Francisco, California.
