Jennifer Herbert is a self-taught jewelry artist living with her husband and dog in central New Jersey. Classically trained as a chef, she soon realized that cooking did not fully satisfy her need to create. "Food is fleeting- a necklace or a pair of earrings can be savored and enjoyed for years." She started Little Epiphany to fill this creative void.
Her approach to design and construction takes cues from nature. "I love to find the patterns in nature and allow them to be reflected in my pieces. Symmetry is especially pleasing to me: most of nature is symmetrical in an imperfect way, and I really enjoy that as a design aesthetic."
Jennifer works primarily with semi-precious stones, copper, sterling silver and glass, but won't rule out other materials. She wouldn't limit herself by refusing to acknowledge unconventional materials. She makes most of her components herself, but those that aren't are selected for their quality and stylistic relationship to the piece.
