Hi, I’m Jen Hilton! I’ve been making and loving jewelry since I was the little person in that picture. I personally create the items I sell on this website. I do not have any formal art education, but was raised in a creative family and grew up writing, drawing, sewing, singing, playing guitar, decorating cakes, doing crafts, reading, and making jewelry.

Most of my pieces are one-of-a-kind, or of very limited number. I use made-in-the-USA parts as much as possible, and always select quality ingredients. I also enjoy working with found items, recycled vintage jewelry and other curiosities.

My ideas and inspirations come from many sources: people, literature, nature, art, movies, music, history, mythology, and dreams. I am often asked, “How do you make your jewelry? How can I make jewelry like you?” All I can say is that I’ve spent my entire life making jewelry. Stringing plastic beads for a necklace is one of my earliest memories. But it’s impossible to separate my jewelry from my other interests. Creativity is a fountain, where the water is life itself. If you want to create, you’ve got to love, read, study, experience, listen, dance, sing, build. You’ve got to live. 

Some of my original jewelry designs are featured in the book “Steampunk Style Jewelry” by Jean Campbell. My pieces are on pages 50, 90 and 96. I was also the winner of the 2009 Andrew Britton Short Story contest. 

I hope you enjoy wearing my jewelry and making it a part of your own story. Every piece, no matter how simple or small, is made with intense love and fearless creativity. Many people make jewelry — I strive to make magic.
