Jennifer Fisher

Jennifer Fisher was a stylist who made her first piece, a gold dog tag for her son, Shane, because nothing on the market matched her own style, then turned it into a line in 2006 after Uma Thurman wore one on a magazine cover. Notes on the hoops, bangles and necklaces built for daily wear.

The Dog Tag That Started It

Jennifer Fisher's first piece was not designed to sell. A Los Angeles wardrobe stylist, she made a heavy gold dog tag stamped with the name of her son, Shane, because nothing on the market matched her own style. She wore it on set, friends and stylists started asking for their own, and once Uma Thurman wore one on the cover of Glamour, the requests turned into a business. Fisher launched her eponymous line in 2006, and that same instinct toward personal meaning without delicate fuss still runs through the hoops and bangles that followed. A Natasha hoop or a Thread bangle is meant for daily wear rather than saving, so the metal carries enough weight to hold its shape. The Puffy Heart ring and a Dagger necklace add a more sculptural note without losing that same sense of something worn on purpose. Choose the shape you want to become recognizable on you, then wear it enough that it does.

Weight Over Delicacy

Jennifer Fisher understands that jewelry can be personal without being quiet, and the hoops and bangles here hold up to actual daily wear rather than sitting in a box. The Natasha hoop is the easiest starting point, since a mid sized gold hoop earns its place faster than a delicate stud ever will. The Puffy Heart ring is the more personal buy, best chosen once you already know the weight and scale you like against your hand. Chokers and layered necklaces, like the Thread choker or the Chelsea necklace, need a plain neckline to do their job, so keep the rest of an outfit simple when wearing one. A single bold piece worn constantly reads stronger than several delicate ones worn occasionally, and that is exactly how this jewelry wants to be treated. Start with a piece that has real weight and let repetition make it yours.
