Design By Janja – Custom Jewelry Designer

Welcome to my website. I’m excited to show you some of my custom designed jewelry as well as other designs. All of the jewelry, you see on this website is hand-made, some of them through custom fabrication work, some of them through wax carving and casting.

Born and raised in Switzerland, I got formal training in fabricating and designing jewelry and graduated as a master jeweler in 1997. My path led me to California, when I went to get a gemology degree at GIA in Carlsbad.

I enjoy creating jewelry from scratch, working with different materials and patterns. Even though my business has shifted more into web & graphic design, I still fabricate jewelry by custom order and special requests.

Jewelry Photography Services

Do you have a jewelry line and need jewelry photography? With over 20 years in jewelry photography I can help you create great imagery for your online and printing needs.

(Note: you know the phrase “the shoemakers kids don’t have shoes”? Most of the jewelry photography on this site was done before I perfected the technique. Please see the actual samples of jewelry photography services on the right or below, lol…)

My jewelry photography services include a photo-session off-site (at our location) taking the shots needed to get the stacking images we need for crisp images and editing of the photographs – stacking and cleanup of image.

Depending on the style of your jewelry and where you are planning to sell, the background and cleanup need may differ. You may opt for a background instead of pure white, as we have done with some of our necklace photography here or using a mannequin for displaying the jewelry on a person.

If you have very high end jewelry you can’t mail to us for the session, consider taking the photos on a good camera and send it to us for the editing only.
