About Jennifer Kahn

My goal is to put a contemporary spin on ancient designs, as I’m influenced by both artifacts and fashion. I’m fascinated by the way things are put together: patched, hinged, riveted, stitched, wrapped and often incorporate such connections in my pieces. I gather inspiration from a pattern on a textile; the texture of a leaf; beautiful, old rusty things. 

My designs fuse old and new, industrial and natural, urban and ethnic. I work with high quality and ethically sourced materials and recycled silver including: PMC (Precious Metal Clay), 24k gold, sterling, copper, brass, stones, found objects, upcycled leather and (ethically sourced) feathers. Through all of this craftsmanship is key, which causes me to think about every part of a piece, the back must be as compelling as the front. For that reason most of my pendants and necklaces are reversible.  Comfort is another thing I take into consideration, rings are smooth inside and earrings are lightweight.

I patina (darken) all of my work to cause the texture to really stand out and I give it a matte finish which makes it look old and unlike a lot of shiny jewelry out in the world. 
I do my best to leave a tiny footprint, to give back to my community and to make choices in line with my values.
