I grew up in a small town outside the suburbs of Philadelphia, and I have been creating art my whole life. I fell in love with metal smithing while attending the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia. The beauty of the South inspired many of my first designs, and throughout my travels I draw inspiration for the JC jewelry lines. I now call LA home here in Hermosa Beach, where the JCJ Studio is right next to the gorgeous Pacific Ocean!
