Metalsmith and Jewelry Designer



In recent years, the surge of independent designers has seen an all-time high. From hand-knit scarves to commissioned furniture, artisans who know their craft and can identify with a client's need for something unique, continue to pave the way for the latest and greatest must-haves. Jewelry designer Jennifer "JJ" Singh is no exception. Drawing inspiration from ancient civilizations, Singh's pieces are unique and very historical.

An apprenticeship with Goldsmith Robert Smith in Virginia led to continued studies in metalworking and jewelry design. Jennifer is a Certified Precious Metal Clay Instructor through Rio Grande. Jennifer's specialties are: fabrication, precious metal clay, granulation, and resin enamels. Her favorite materials are fine silver, sterling silver, 24k gold plating, and semiprecious stones.

Artist Statement
After graduating from high school, I asked my parents for metalsmithing lessons. Relieved I wasn't asking for a car, they called our local goldsmith and made arrangements. He graciously obliged and those lessons turned into an apprenticeship where I learned the fundamentals of working with precious metals. Manipulating metal into beautiful objects is an endless journey, and there is always something new to learn.

Each piece [of jewelry] is a combination of balancing the technical challenges with the desired aesthetic of the piece. Working in my studio is my meditation. It takes me to a place where I lose track of time and feel a deep sense of satisfaction. When I'm away from the studio, I have symptoms of withdrawal. It is my passion.
