Jen’s jewelry is both ethereal and architectural, with wire forms that resemble a three-dimensional lace. She loves to wield torches and hammers, cut and form little pieces of wire, and assemble bit by bit one piece at a time to create a wearable piece of sculptural jewelry.

From the artist's website: "Jen Surine hand fabricates contemporary jewelry in her signature style called “Openwork”. This sculptural technique involves cutting and assembling pieces of wire to create wearable, dimensional jewelry."

"Jen’s distinct design aesthetic arises from her ability to pair unexpected, contradictory themes in her work. Combinations she utilizes include juxtapositions like edgy/glamorous, architectural/ethereal, and Art Deco/Futuristic. The result is a piece of jewelry with a distinct style all its own."

She’s a lover of sunny days, trips to the lake for rock hunting, baking bread, and family walks to the local ice cream shop. Jen graduated from Grand Valley State University with a BFA, specializing in Metals & Jewelry"

*What is Argentium Silver?
Argentium Silver is a Silver alloy, similar to Sterling, with a few differences. Argentium has a higher silver content, lower copper content, and an added metal called Germanium. This combination gives Argentium a bright white color that is much more tarnish-resistant than sterling silver. Which means less time worrying about cleaning your silver.
