I established Jane Bartel Jewelry in 2018. My collections bridge the relaxed spirit of California with New York City's sophisticated edge. From my studios in Santa Monica and NYC, I create handcrafted, textured pieces that defy the traditional, drawing inspiration from the ocean's organic forms and ethereal palette.
Each piece is thoughtfully crafted by hand, without CAD design, ensuring a uniquely artistic expression that can't be replicated by mass production. The singular look of my jewelry is achieved using the intricate lost-wax casting technique, an experiential process that allows me to experiment when I am designing.
My commitment to sustainability runs deep – working exclusively with fairmined and recycled gold using responsibly sourced gemstones, I create everyday luxury pieces that honor both nature and craftsmanship.
These collections are for the discerning woman and man who appreciates the subtle details of handcrafted jewelry and seeks pieces that transcend trends. Whether worn as daily signatures or future heirlooms, each design carries the essence of both coasts – laid-back yet luxurious, sophisticated yet approachable.
I donate a portion of my sales to the California-based Heal the Bay foundation, a nonprofit close to my heart that strives to rejuvenate the coastline in Santa Monica.
