from Los Angeles,,
established in 2014
After launching her label in 2014, Los Angeles-native Jess Hannah has focused on creating timeless, sustainably sourced handmade pieces that cross the line between classic and trend. The designer originally studied graphic design but after a few stints dabbling in the field, switched gears and followed her passion for jewelry making. After apprenticing with a local jewelry designer for a year, she set about launching her own, eponymous brand. The line is filled with a mix of solid 14k gold and silver pieces, ranging from thick gold bands and hoops to delicate, ‘50s-inspired chokers (Hannah’s grandmother and her jewelry collection is constant inspiration) and ultra-fine, stackable rings. In the end, Hannah says it best—“I call them timeless staples.”
