History

Established in 1997.

Janet Sterling Silver Design began in Janet’s living room in 1997, and has since grown into a full online boutique, with clients all over the USA, Canada, Japan, and Europe. In 2002, the JanetJewelry retail boutique opened in downtown NYC, but after the birth of her daughter, Janet decided to close the store in 2008 and built a home studio workshop.

Janet’s jewelry has been featured in numerous magazines and newspapers, including New York Times, Paper, Stuff, YM, Giant Robot, CMJ New Music Monthly, Elle Girl, New York Daily News, Bust, Revolver, and Cargo. Meredith Vieira wore her Postmordern Candy Necklace on «The View,» and Janet herself made her first TV appearance on The Oxygen Network’s «SheCommerce,» and more recently, on Style! Network’s show, «Isaac,» with designer Isaac Mizrahi. Her pieces have been worn by The Killers, Cibo Matto, and Blu Cantrell, and she has also worked on commissioned designs for Cyndi Lauper, Phantom Planet, and Jeffrey Gaines.

Meet the Business Owner

Janet M.

Business Owner

Born in Japan, Janet was raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, where she began taking silversmithing classes at Punahou School. She received her BA from Santa Clara University, with a major in History with a European Emphasis, and a minor in Art History. Jewelry making took a backseat while she pursued a teaching career, but after receiving her MA in Gender Politics from New York University, she realized that she spent all her spare time making jewelry, and decided to turn her hobby into her dream vocation.

Janet designs and handcrafts all the jewelry in her home workshop studio, which she built after the birth of her daughter – she very much enjoys being able to juggle work with motherhood and loves working from home.

Besides the jewelry making, Janet also photographs all her own online jewelry pictures, and programs and maintains the website, www​.janet​jew​elry​.com.
