I was thrilled to meet Jenny two years ago. Not only did we become fast friends, but our aesthetics clicked from the get-go. In preparation of my upcoming twenty-fifth anniversary, I worked with her to design two anniversary bands. One is designed around a beautiful, vintage piece of jade that my father brought back to my mother while he was a soldier in the late 1960s. The other incorporates the diamond from my engagement ring, the diamond from my mother’s engagement ring, and some stones from my tenth anniversary band. Jenny was able to combine my assorted stones with the beautiful leaves and vines that are very much her trademark aesthetic, to create two stunning rings that tell the story of our lives together. Every time I put on my anniversary bands, my heart is full of memories, and wishes and dreams for the next twenty-five years. Working with Jenny was a delight, and it came as no surprise that she so easily interpreted our vision.

Jenny & I have known each other a long time. This past July, I spent 4 hours with her at her design studio telling her what I wanted designed for my 50th trip around the sun. She listened, sketched, shaded, & colored and before I knew it, I was looking at the sketch of my ring. Today, I picked it up & when I opened the box, this mouthy, almost 50 year old was speechless. My ring is a true work of art & of love & peace & positivity. It represents 50 well lived & hard fought years. This piece will be a forever reminder of who I am, where I started, & where I landed. It will be passed down to my son, his children, and hopefully their children. Everyone deserves a piece of art created by Jenny. Everyone.

I have been fortunate enough to wear jewelry created by Jenny McLaurin since 1999, when she was just starting her business. I have cherished every piece of jewelry she has created for me over the past 20 years, with each one being unique expressions of my personality and her artistry. One of my favorite moments of working with Jenny is watching her sketch a design after she and I have talked about what I want. The anticipation of seeing that piece of paper come to life with the jewels we picked out together is all part of the joy and experience of wearing her jewelry. Each piece is a relationship with the art and the artist from inception, through the anticipation, to the reveal, to the first moment that you feel the cool metal or stones touch your skin. When adding that experience to an already special moment such as a graduation gift, anniversary gift, or a personal indulgence, a piece of Jenny McLaurin jewelry has become a totem that perfectly captures a moment of time in my life. I carry forward my memories of these special moments every time I wear my jewelry.

For fifteen years, Jenny has been creating uniquely stunning jewelry for me. With vision, superlative talent, and craftsmanship, Jenny imagines new life for those old pieces that no longer suit my taste and lifestyle. I cannot express enough the joy these new rings, earrings and necklaces have given me. Jenny is an extraordinarily talented designer whose magical work I would recommend to anyone who loves beautiful jewelry!

Jenny's designs are elegant, intelligent, and original. I recommend setting up a visit to see examples of her work. If you don't see something you want, be sure to sit down with Jenny and her sketchbook for a few minutes while you're there. She has an unlimited imagination and ability to make your sparkly dreams come true.

I had a picture in my mind of the design I wanted for my earrings, without any idea how to describe it. But when Jenny and I sat down and talked about it, she immediately understood. She started sketching and the design came to life right in front of my eyes. Couldn't be happier with what she created!

I own quite a few pieces of Jenny Garrett McLaurin jewelry, and each one is a beautiful treasure, not only because of her artistic designs and meticulous crafting, but also because the experience of working with Jenny is a delight. Her excitement and desire to create just the right piece for you makes the process a joy. If you're interested in owning a piece of art in the form of jewelry, Jenny is the jeweler for you!
