Jennifer Chaitt
Jennifer grew up in Tempe, Arizona, and earned her bachelor's degree in engineering from the University of San Diego. After several years of working as an engineer and project manager to develop new aircraft, she decided to pursue her passion for designing jewelry.
By combining her eye for artistry, understanding of material properties, engineering design skills, and knowledge of manufacturing, she creates jewelry that attractive and robust to handling and the environment.
Jennifer now resides in San Diego with her dog Tucker who sits by her side while she designs and waits patiently for his walks.
"I design jewelry to help women shine a little brighter.
Unable to find classic styles with the modern touch I was looking for, I took matters into my own hands. I drew on my background in engineering and began designing jewelry using Computer Aided Design (CAD).
Using engineering principles, I am able to optimize stone angles for maximum sparkle, protect delicate elements that would otherwise be prone to damage, and analyze each piece for balance and wearability."
