Jeanine Payer

Poetry hand-engraved onto precious metals is how San Francisco-based jewelry designer Jeanine Payer creates her collections of emotionally engaging yet subtle jewelry. There are few things as intimate as wearing poetry against your skin, as many of her clients can attest. Her international following includes Jessica Lange, Susan Sarandon, Mick Jagger and Johnny Depp. Payer has also worked closely to design custom pieces for Meg Ryan, Seal, Sheryl Crow, and Debra Messing.

Growing up in Southern California, Payer was surrounded by an artistic family who encouraged her to pursue creative expression in all its forms, whether it was keeping journals or studying sculpture and drawing. ÒI believe in pieces having a wonder about them. I like making things that are at once both powerful and private,Ó says Payer.

One of Payer's first creations was designed as a gift: a tiny book engraved with a beloved poem by Rainer Maria Rilke that only the wearer knew was there. Today, PayerÕs designs continue to be graced with the words of both contemporary and ancient voices such as Emily Dickinson, Rumi, Lao Tzu, Jane Hirshfield, and Ovid. "Each person brings their own particular meaning to the jewelry, therefore each piece becomes highly endowed," says the designer. "These pieces become talismanic as they are chosen to mark emotional and philosophical moments in each personÕs life."

Payer and her highly-skilled team of fifteen metalsmiths craft three collections a year in a bustling atelier in the historic Phelan Building San FranciscoÕs original jewelry center. The jewelry is on display in her retail store, located just a few floors below the workshop, as well as in over 250 specialty stores worldwide including Fred Segal in Los Angeles, Barneys New York and Japan.

Something Blue

A native Californian, Angela Schade began her jewelry career at the early age of twelve. While other girls her age were playing with dolls, she was busy designing and marketing her first line, an eclectic mix of found objects & beads. "I used whatever I could find, copper wires, broken glass, anything...", says Angela, "I was obsessed." She later formalized her education by studying metalsmithing and jewelry design in both London and Los Angeles.

Back in L. A. and apprenticing with an award winning jewelry designer, Angela discovered her talent for working with Brides. She recalls their frustration, "It was the most important day of their lives with everything planned down to the last flower, but when it came to accessories, the selection was so limited they could never find what they were looking for ". So Angela created a line of jewelry specifically for the Bride. A Collection that was fashionably current yet still achieved the versatility to be enjoyed long after the wedding day. This debut Collection, inspired by Couture & Designer bridal fashions, was so well received that, in 1994 she ventured out on her own & Something Blue Adornment was born.

A few years later, after discovering a beautiful pair of vintage earrings at an Estate sale, Angela was inspired once again, and created a tiara--the first in a growing Collection of headpieces. Now over 40 styles include; Tiaras, Combs, Headbands, Hairpins & the latest addition, flexible & versatile Hair-Vines.

Working from her studio nestled in the foothills of Southern California, AngelaÕs designs continue to evolve. Most of her creations begin with a pencil sketch, working out many of the details on paper. Once the design is complete a sample is produced, further adjustments are made and finally the piece is completed. Every item is individually hand made to order, with genuine freshwater pearls, Swarovski¨ crystals & rhinestones, metal leaves and flowers. Sometimes she incorporates vintage elements such as antique jewelry, beads & millinery objects. "I guess my obsession will never end." says Angela.
