Dear Friends and Fans,
I am announcing with a heavy heart that Jeanine Payer, Inc.
as we know it will be closing on January 1st of 2014, which is the right
decision at this time.
The poetry that surrounds us here has a magical effect. We hear innumerable stories from you that are
inspiring, trans-formative and moving; always so personal, as the work we create
is to all of us. I am and always will be
uplifted by these stories, both happy and sad, and the fact that you chose to commemorate
events, milestones and celebrations for yourselves and for your loved ones with
just the right design and passage. We
recognize how meaningful this company and the jewelry we make are to so many of
you. It is very special to all of us as
well and we will miss it terribly!
Love is where the art starts, and I am at a place in my life
where, as a mother of a six year old, I want to put my heart and soul into
raising my son. I am not sure what the future will hold, and I
am keeping the door open to possibilities regarding this work that I so love
and to the poetry that inspires it. For the time, it is important for me to
focus inward and on my family to create a space for future creative/artistic outlets.
As hard as it
has been to write this, right now I am feeling a tremendous amount of
gratitude for your loyalty and support and for all the incredible people
who have worked here with me over these past 25 years.
With much love and my deepest thanks,
Jeanine Payer
