Here’s one of many classic jewelry pieces from Ida Jefsen!

Ida Jefsen is a one-woman whirlwind of artistic endeavors and amazing talent with an international background that would make most of us here in the United States jealous! She currently lives and works in Oregon, but she grew up in Denmark and pursued a degree in Fashion Design in none other than Paris, France!

You can see all her international influences and more at her Ida Jefsen Design website. Her jewelry has a classic vintage feel that is never overdone or ostentatious. Ida’s jewelry mixes and matches many contrasting and different shapes and colors into sophisticated and coordinated pieces which really feel as though they came from a time long past. Almost everything she makes includes some intricate wirework and is hung on antique looking or brass chains, which really adds to the authenticity.

Thankfully, she hasn’t limited herself to just one medium with all that creativity. Her Ida Jefsen Design website features a variety of creative pursuits including jewelry making, photography and even graphic design! As an amateur photographer myself I’ve started to pay a lot more attention to how jewelry is photographed, and I was totally blown away by some of the photos on her site. Some of her photos of jewelry could easily be printed on canvas and stand on their own as a beautiful piece of artwork.

Her website has multiple large photos of each of her jewelry pieces, wonderful descriptions and she loves doing custom jewelry design. Some of her pieces are even designed to match with others and her site helps connect you to jewelry that coordinates with the piece you’re looking at. Even her website photos of her jewelry are beautifully and thoughtfully laid out. She makes bracelets, earrings, pendant and even photo necklaces (with her own photos of course) and they’re all like mini pieces of wearable art!

She sells most of her pieces through Etsy, so visit her website or cruise on over to the Ida Jefsen Designs Etsy store soon. She’ll even guarantee Christmas delivery if you order before December 10th!
