Jennifer Chin
Jewelry designer, artist and author
I began working with metals while studying at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston in 1997. My work is inspired by an affinity for machine components, animals, the beautiful natural patterns and urban landscapes. Using silver, gold and gemstones, I love to create delicately linked geometric patterns and organic imagery like bird wings, flowers and leaves. Kinetic movement plays a role in the designs, concentric circles spinning inside hexagons or a stairway of silver folding like a puzzle. I am attracted to contradictory themes- hard vs. soft, dark vs. bright, contrasting themes play a large role in design.
My entire collection can be viewed at some of the country's finest art and craft shows. I always have fresh, new designs on display, I hope to see you out there!
