Most of Jan’s jewelry pieces are sterling with stones and gold as accents of color. Her work is very geometric in its basic form but each piece has its own particular character: the surfaces, whether matte or shiny, are often textured and/or involve subtle combinations of different finishing techniques.

Sterling Pendant

Sterling Disk Brooch


She also makes two-dimensional assemblages which usually involve metal in some way.
Red Grid II



Sterling, Flint and Turquoise Double Ring

Sterling, 18K Gold and Lapis Double Disk Ring

Sterling, Eudialite and Lapis Double Ring

Unusual double or triple rings that sit between two fingers have long been a speciality of Jan’s oeuvre. She combines unique semi-precious stones with textured silver forms or other stones that provide interesting combinations.

Bottle Cap Earrings
In 2009 Jan developed a new “Green-Recap” series of pieces that are made by recycling bottle caps which are hammered into light weight hemispheres.
