About Us
Yay! We are finally here! Jensen Collection has been a long time coming…
I could say it all started about 3 years ago when tooling around San Francisco with one of my dearest and most stylish friends and her necklace sparked a little something in me – the impetus to where my head, heart and hands needed to go. But who are we kidding, it started much longer ago than that…
When I was a little girl, and I mean little, I could spend hours in my grandmother’s jewelry stash – box just doesn’t do it justice, she had a ton of it! I would beg to have sleepovers at her house so we could “dress up” in her nighties, party dresses and furs and, most importantly, all of her jewelry. As I got a little older, I would go to gem shows with her and my mother - 3 generations sharing our love of gold and all things that sparkle. The absolute highlight though was when we would go on school shopping trips with Humma, the jewelry stores were always my favorite.
Then I grew up, got a real job, found myself in a career or two, got married, started a family and as life transitioned there was always a constant – my love for jewelry. Heck, 20 years ago, while taking a deep and real look at my life, multiple friends told me I should do something with jewelry – my love for jewelry was obvious and undeniable.
I do feel a little sorry for my husband, Tom, as he came into our marriage knowing he was marrying a girl with some fabulous jewelry who couldn’t walk past a jewelry store window without at least slowing down to gaze as I passed - he didn’t get it, but he knew it was probably going to be expensive.
So here we are today, my sons, Holden and Hatcher (and our angel Harley), are old enough that they just don’t need me as much (sob, sob) so I decided to take a break from Board work to start something to call my own - with a little design and IT support from Holden and Hatcher, making it a family thing. We all have our everyday jewelry, that we love and wear constantly. But I needed more fun stuff - fun colors, sizes, shapes and lengths. Something to add to the everyday jewelry to mix and match, to be more adventurous and maybe a pinch silly and irreverent. And Jensen Collection was born. Beautiful, fun, hand made creations to add to your everyday or wear on their own. All Jensen Collection necklaces and bracelets are open ended so that you can mix and match colors and materials, change up the lengths, combine pieces to create a completely different necklace or bracelet. Pick a piece, add a connector and voila, you have started what I hope will be a beautiful and fun journey with us.
One last little nugget – Giving back is sooo important to me, and while we have a beautiful family, it has not been an easy journey. Accordingly, a portion of every sale will go to charities focused on bringing healthy babies into this world and supporting families who have a difficult time with it.
