About JanetJewelry
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, and in 2002, a retail boutique in the fashionable Chelsea District of New York City.
Since its inception, Janet Sterling Silver Design has been dedicated to creating pieces that are unique and modern, yet very wearable and affordable; most of the designs range between $50 and $150, although higher end pieces are also available. All pieces are Janet's original designs, both cast and handwrought, and are made of sterling silver, imported European crystals, Japanese glass, and luscious semi-precious stones. Some of the designs are now available in14K Vermeil.
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 Janet's Postmodern 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 numerous celebrities, including The Killers, Cibo Matto, Blu Cantrell and Parker Posie, and she has also worked on commissioned custom pieces for Cyndi Lauper, Phantom Planet, and Jeffrey Gaines.
About Janet
Janet Akie Masamitsu was born in Japan, Janet was raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, where she began taking silversmithing classes at Punahou School. She received her BA at 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.
With the help of her Art Director husband, she photographs and programs the website, www.janetjewelry.com. Janet designs, produces, and makes all the jewelry in her workshop studio, which is part of the retail boutique - she can adjust sizes and colors on the spot, or personalize jewelry to order. She works with one assistant, Vicky Eng-Sela, a talented beadwork specialist, who also helps to manage both the online and retail stores. (Vicky is currently on maternity leave).
