If you ask jewelry lovers who Jennifer Meyer is, everyone will probably know her name, because the jewelry she makes can often be seen on Hollywood stars. Once, she herself happened to star in the film, although she never wanted to become an actress.
Biography
Jennifer Meyer was born in the town of Naples, which is located on the very shore of the ocean. The designer does not like to talk about her childhood, because she survived the divorce of her parents. Her father, Ronald Meyer, was a businessman: president and CEO of Universal Studios. After the divorce, Jenny's mother married a rabbi, and the girl had a new family.
One can imagine that little girls want to become actresses, models or TV hosts. But how do they become jewelers? Jenny had a grandmother who was engaged in jewelry. She was professionally engaged in jewelry making, was very passionate about her work and gradually aroused her granddaughter's interest in creating beauty in metal and stones. Jenny was only six years old, code Edith showed her the first tricks in this craft. The girl was carried away, spent many hours in a jewelry workshop, but she considered this business to be her hobby, and nothing more.
After leaving school, Jennifer went to the University of Syracuse to get a psychologist education. She was always interested in people, their relationships and perceptions of the world. And she wanted to help everyone who turned to her to find a solution to their problems. From childhood, she saw that people needed psychological help, so she chose this university and this specialty.
However, the reality was not the same as she imagined it in her student years. There are many nuances, and it is difficult to say which side of the profession did not suit the future designer. However, Meyer left psychology in PR.
She worked in the famous fashion houses of Ralph Lauren and Giorgio Armani - helped present new projects and was engaged in other important matters. Also, at one time she served as editor of the women's magazine Glamor. Given the enormous female audience reading this publication around the world, you can imagine what responsibility lay with Jennifer. However, she coped with this work, as she was not used to retreating in front of difficulties.
In 2004, Meyer thought about what to do next. She tried herself in many professions, but nothing gave her so much pleasure as creating various compositions from rhinestones, stones, metal and other materials. The brave girl decided to take a chance and create a collection of jewelry that had long been in her head.
Jeweler career
At first it was not very easy to enter this market and at least somehow promote your jewelry. Jennifer developed her sheet design and presented it as "turning a new sheet in life." The audience liked her idea, jewelry began to be in demand.
Meyer’s collection was widely known after the film “American Divorce”. It so happened that the Hollywood stylist was looking for something special, and chose one of the leaf pendants of the beginning designer for Jennifer Aniston to put on this decoration for the film.
Since then, Meyer did not have to worry about advertising campaigns - films often became her advertising. For example, her heart-shaped medallion adorns the neck of Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst) - a gift from her boyfriend Peter Parker (Toby Maguire) in the movie Spider-Man 3.
This success allowed Jennifer to create her own brand and found the company Jennifer Meyer Jewelry, where she became both a designer and CEO. Her jewelry began to purchase the most famous jewelry stores - such as Barneys New York and Net-a-Porter.com.
Purposefulness, perseverance and impeccable taste are always the basis of success. Three years after the start of her career, Meyer became the "Jeweler of the Year" according to the rating of US Weekly magazine.
In 2012, she received an award from the CFDA / Vogue Fashion Fund, and in 2013 she was nominated for the CFDA Swarovski Award for the unique design developed for the brand.
Since her jewelry appeared in the movie "Spider-Man 3", almost every year she has been ordering some celebrity. For example, in 2015, she created a wedding ring design for the wedding of Jennifer Aniston with Justin Theroux.
It is probably impossible to be in the sphere of interests of Hollywood celebrities and not get an offer to star in the film. This happened with Meyer. Back in 2012, she played herself in the TV series "Project Podium. All Stars" (2012 - …). And since 2016, she began to be invited to small roles in different films. Who knows - will a famous designer turn over the leaf of his life again?
