As a child, her grandfather's watchmaker's bench was a favorite place to play, his spare watch hands and components transformed into charms and adornments. Her Mother, a collector of mineral specimens, brought Jenn along on trips to gem and mineral shows.

With over a decade's experience as a retail fine jewelry & watch buyer, Jenn launched MINED + FOUND in 2020, setting out to fuse her love for and knowledge of gemstones, fine jewelry tradition & technique with her creative spirit and unique design perspective. Her creations meld grace with utility: bridging the gap between fantastical and real, transcending conventional definitions of fine jewelry. MINED + FOUND's trademarked Rainbow Silk® and kinetic, interactive elements are mainstays.

Jenn's efforts and considerations extend well beyond rich storytelling and symbolism. Each design is the culmination of carefully sourced materials of fine quality and the efforts of highly skilled and respected craftspeople.

The collection is charged with this passion and personality, designed as reflections of those who wear them.
