Tis the season for great trunk shows, and this Wednesday, jewelry designer Jennifer Brown will be showing her unique, handmade designs from her Quattro label at the Jennifer Butler Made to Measure atelier in Fairfield. Venetian glass, gold accents and color combinations that pop are all hallmarks of Jennifer Browns style, and her pieces are truly one-of-a-kind.
Theyre almost edible, Jennifer says of her pieces. Theyre so color saturated and the beads are just gorgeous. Im a painter, which is how this all started, she says. I was travelling Europe, going everywhere Italy, France, the Czech Republic hunting down all the important works of art a painter is supposed to see. And while I was there, I ran across these amazing beads and started collecting them.
Its easy to see her artistry in the jewelry she creates. Painting is all about color relationships, so beadwork and jewelry-making are a great fit for me. Im a colorist, so I look for unexpected, interesting colors and how they can work together. And I only use genuine Murano glass, handmade in Murano, Italy. I'm really committed to making my business fair trade, and I don't use any 'imposter' beads. Ever.
Whether youre looking for a simple piece you can wear everyday, or an elegant standout piece for your holiday party, Jennifers collection has something to offer. I like to work with leather, and add a little sparkle to it. My favorite piece right now, though, is a two-toned gold foil necklace with lots and lots of light blue beads. They way the blue and gold play off each other is just beautiful.
Intrigued? It gets better.
Jennifer will offer wholesale prices on all her pieces at Wednesdays trunk show, with items ranging from $30.00 to $300.00. While youre shopping Jennifer Browns jewelry, make sure you check out Jennifer Butlers collection of handmade shawls, scarves and faux fur collars, because theyll be 20 percent off. At these prices, you can grab gifts for your glam girlfriends and have a little extra to spend on yourself.
Find all these dazzling deals Wednesday, Dec. 1, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Jennifer Butler boutique, located at 1326 Post Road in Fairfield.
