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.
You can imagine that little girls want to become actresses, models or TV presenters. How do you become a jeweler? Jenny had a grandmother who was in jewelry business. 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 when Edith showed her her first tricks in the craft. The girl got carried away, spent many hours in a jewelry workshop, but she considered this business to be her hobby, and nothing more.
After graduating from high school, Jennifer went to Syracuse University to study psychology. She was always interested in people, their relationships and perception of the world. And she wanted to help everyone who turns to her to find a solution to their problems. Since childhood, she saw that people need psychological help, so she chose this university and this specialty.
However, the reality turned out not to be the way she imagined it in her student years. There are many nuances here, and it is difficult to say which side of the profession did not suit the future designer. However, Meyer left psychology for PR.
She worked in the famous fashion houses of Ralph Lauren and Giorgio Armani - she helped present new projects and did other important things. She also served at one time as editor of the women's magazine Glamor. Considering what a huge female audience reads this publication all over the world, you can imagine what kind of responsibility Jennifer had. However, she coped with this work, because she was not used to retreating in the face of difficulties.
In 2004, Meyer wondered what to do next. She tried herself in many professions, but nothing gave her such great 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.
