Jennifer Gargon, Owner-Designer
Jennifer possesses a diverse background in jewellery manufacturing, gemstone setting, visual fine arts, music, and dance. She has studied painting and drawing with various local artists, as well as studying 3D sculpture, painting, drawing, art history and the creative process itself at Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Vancouver.
Jennifer entered the jewellery business in 1999, when she began designing jewellery items for a Vancouver area retail store, as well as for private clients. Her ability to incorporate conceptual design into client items, her willingness to really listen to what the clients want, and her caring attention to detail, became Jennifer’s sought-after trademark talents.
Why do Clients Love Working with Jennifer?
Jennifer’s training brings a powerful perspective and high degree of beauty and artistic complexity to Jewellery Artists 3D’s creations. She has the advantage of true artistic training in the visual fine arts, which brings a completely different perspective and level of complexity to her jewellery creations. Most "jewellery designers" develop their design skills in the business. As such, the designs they create often reflect the mundane "tried-and-true" approaches in the final product. Jennifer's fresh outlook on creativity and design breathes refreshing life into JA3D’s projects to create dynamic, vibrant jewellery that is personally tailored to client desire and practical reality.
