Baby Cuff ($235) – Engraving reads: “Who and what are thou?” “I’m youth. I’m joy. I’m a little bird that has broken out of the egg.” – J.M. Barrie
Jeanine Payer creates more than jewelry. She creates pieces meant to stir emotions and draw inspiration. Her jewelry is hand engraved with lines of poetry from legendary and contemporary writers. Each piece contains a sense of wonder as each owner defines the meaning of the words. She has a celebrity following that includes Jessica Lange, Susan Saradon, Mick Jagger, and others. Some like Seal and Sheryl Crow commissioned her to make custom pieces. Jeanine ensures quality craftsmanship by allowing her team of 15 metalsmiths to produce only three collections per year. The simplistic nature combined with powerful literature makes these items keepsakes to be cherished. I adore these items and find it impossible to select a favorite as each piece of poetry is so wonderful. Jeanine Payer available at Vivre.
