Amy Jennings Designs
Amy has always had an eye for beautiful things. When her grandma became sick in 2008, Amy picked up jewelry-making while hanging out with her. In Amy’s mind, jewelry-making and beautiful things will always be connected to her sweet times with her grandma.
Over the years, Amy has honed her craft of creating high-quality, hand-made designs that women love to wear on a daily basis—”everyday jewelry” made for longevity.
Amy’s designs are inspired by the islands of her husband’s family, as well as by the city—especially the greater Los Angeles area, where she grew up and currently resides. Her pieces reflect sea foam blue chalcedonies and pale green chrysoprase, as well as minimalistic and geometric shapes. Her designs are meant to enhance the inherent beauty of the wearer.
