Meet the Maker

I’m Jennifer Cervelli, a California-based jewelry designer creating rustic, ethical pieces for eco-conscious free spirits. My handcrafted designs are deeply inspired by adventure, travel, nature, and the incredible California landscapes. Through Jennifer Cervelli Jewelry, I bring together my love for metalsmithing, sustainability, and storytelling—crafting jewelry that embodies both beauty and meaning.

I grew up in a small town near Philadelphia, and I’ve been an artist since childhood. My creative journey began early, studying painting, photography, and ceramics, but it was my travels as a JEM (Joint Environmental Mission) exchange student to Australia, Italy, and England that truly shaped my passion for both art and environmentalism.

I fell in love with metalsmithing while attending the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) in Savannah, Georgia, where I earned my BFA in Metals & Jewelry. The beauty of the South influenced many of my first designs, and my countless travels continue to inspire my work today. After graduating in 2007, I worked for several incredible designers in the Bay Area, California, before moving to Fort Collins, Colorado, to focus solely on my own jewelry line. The Rocky Mountains still hold a special place in my heart, influencing my designs alongside my love for the ocean and natural landscapes.

I moved to Los Angeles, California, in 2012, where I currently reside. Each piece is individually handcrafted with love in the foothill mountains of Los Angles.
