Acclaimed New York designer Lisa Jenks, widely recognized for her distinctive modern style, has been creating extraordinary pieces for over 20 years. She draws much of her inspiration from New York City as well as world history and a wide range of cultural traditions, and her work carries echoes of these themes. There are connections to the towering angular forms of Deco skyscrapers, the rhythmic patterns of Art Nouveau, and the modernist elements of the Bauhaus School. Cross-cultural influences are referenced too.

After starting out in jewelry, Lisa expanded to small leather goods, home accessories, tableware, and highly lauded packaging created for Origins beauty and skin care.

Lisa is a proud member of the prestigious Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) and has been honored with many awards, most notably Jewelry Designer of the Year (2006) by the Women’s Jewelry Association (WJA). She was also a finalist in the International DeBeers Diamond Jewelry Design awards, and in 2012 Lisa was named “International Designer of Distinction” by the Silver Institute.

After several years of expanding her lifestyle business, Lisa has once again re-focused on what inspires her most: She is back to creating jewelry, all of which is handcrafted and made in New York City. 

Known for her flawless craftsmanship and matte sterling finish, Lisa is credited with giving sterling silver its valued place in jewelry design. She has created collections that are imbued with intelligence and innovation.

Lisa's work is available in her online store and at select retailers. When you buy Lisa's jewelry, you're buying art, fashion, a little rock-and-roll, and a big piece of the modern American jewelry design movement. All good reasons to check out the rest of her collection today!
