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.

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.
