• Owner/Designer Jane A Gordon Jewelry Art Gifts Inspiration · Self-employed Nov 1999 – Present 26 yrs 2 mos New York, NY, United States Jane A Gordon Jewelry: Understated Elegance with a Hippie Soul.
  
  
  Jane A Gordon’s (JAG) Jane's artful and unpredictable designs are the creative product of remarkable journeys (real world, emotional and spiritual) leading to a philosophy of life which brings about joy, now shared with the world through each work of art including jewelry, writing, fine art, photography, and textiles. Jane is convinced that together we can make a quantum leap to a better world by igniting joy, success, leadership and oneness one person at a time.
  
  JAG’s careers, adventures and singular vision began in Philadelphia, in a home and schools without rules, where she was trained from a young age to question everything, sometimes taking that to extremes, like when she boarded a plane at 14 years old, running away briefly to Puerto Rico. An acting audition landed her at Stella Adler in New York University. Curiosity about the world, a decision as a teen to be a leaf in the wind, and life’s vicissitudes brought her to live in NY, London, Geneva, Rome, Spain and Palm Beach, while also working and traveling extensively throughout the world, touring with rock and roll groups, as a consultant, in promotions, as an artist, mentoring and more, and seeing the world by land and sea, on boats ranging from tiny racing sloops to worldwide trunk shows on cruise ships.
  
  Jane has worked and played with the famous and the infamous and is equally inspired by, and comfortable with, the world’s least and most powerful. Jane spent fifteen years in the corporate world in commercial real estate, rode the dot com boom to bust roller-coaster, opened WishBrokers.com developing high end corporate gifts, and finally came accidentally to jewelry design where she discovered her passion: to share happiness. Her jewelry, filled with uplifting symbolism, is designed to support those who wear it and assist them inspiring those in their lives.
  
  Throughout this colorful personal journey, Jane has explored life, love, politics, philosophy, religion, and design, all of which were previously expressed through painting, drawing and poetry, and have now culminated in the yin/yang harmony of art which shares and reflects her continuing astonishment and delight with the world around her.
  
  Although many different influences are present, the final result is clearly Jane’s innovative and unique vision. One of the most important things she can teach is that when you get knocked on your butt, you can take a rest for a moment, but then get up and jump higher. Always reach for the stars.
  
  "The greater danger for most is not in setting our sight to high and falling short, but in setting our sight to low and achieving our mark." Michelangelo
