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.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The poetry that surrounds us here has a magical effect.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>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.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>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.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
recognize how meaningful this company and the jewelry we make are to so many of
you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is very special to all of us as
well and we will miss it terribly!</div>

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.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>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.

Master printer, book maker and founder of Greentree Press, Jack Stauffacher is a American National Treasure. Today he came in wearing a suite of camel linen,a silk scarf and bowtie. When I thanked him for wearing the fresh flower in his lapel he said, 'It really does make the difference.' At 94 he is still thriving and working everyday in his space, full of ephemera, antique wood block lettering and his own type faces he designed in the 50's. He is working with his team to archive his materials to eventually go to Berkeley. The day I moved my studio into the building I poked into his space to introduce myself. He not only showed me around his space but he out of the blue gave me an original print from his show at MOMA and signed it, as a welcome to the building. It is a treasure to me and I keep it up on my board where it serves as an inspiration. <br />
<br />
Currently I am working on a set of letters to be worn around the neck. Lord knows there are tons of versions of letter necklaces but I am inspired by Jack's work and I am making them in the spirit of a time before digital fonts, a time when letters were hand drawn and hand cut. I am looking to create a grain, a hand, imperfections not unlike the antique wood cut letters from antiquity. The first few letters I have made are in the traditional and clean Gill Sans. They are off to the caster and I cannot wait to get them back next week. <br />

My cousin Lee is obsessed with photographing night blooming cactus flowers. The amazing thing is that he is using the most rudimentary equipment to capture such cinematic and poetic beauty. When I was visiting he gave me a tour of all the cactus at his house and I got the lowdown on how he captures them on the one<i> and only night </i>when they bloom. They are spectacular. I begged him to send me some images to put on the mood board.

<br />
On some days, during the day, I engrave jewelry for Jeanine Payer
(www.jeaninepayer.com). This is one of the tiniest things I've had to
engrave; earrings called "Nina." The quote on them reads, "In stillness
the world is restored." -Lao Tzu<br />
<br />
My mom calls me "quick." Meaning,
quick-tempered, quick to react, quick to respond, quick to make light
of something, quick to judge, quick to draw conclusions, quick to
basically, run my mouth off. (Ironically, she also used to tell me that
she could build a fire underneath me and I wouldn't move fast enough...
so, go figure!) And according to Bruce Lee (no relation! ha ha), "A
quick temper will make a fool of you soon enough." So, I struggle with
these challenges in my temperament on a daily basis.<br />
<br />
In yoga, we
move into stillness, fluidly, from one pose to the next. A moving
meditation, a slow dance with pauses, movements linked to breath. Yoga
encouraged me to slow down and feel. And one of my favorite things to do
is to notice the tiny, subtle adjustments I can make to my own body as I
move into stillness. This is where all the "quickness" in my actions
dissolve, and where peace floods over me.<br />
<br />
Engraving offers me a
similar peace of mind. A moving meditation through the act of hand
writing, a concentration of the mind on the mantras so thoughtfully
chosen to be imprinted, forever. And while I engrave, I breathe, and I
find fluidity in my movements, in the feeling of metal upon metal, and
in the constant buzz that moves into the background of my thinking.
Engraving has become a kind of yoga for me. I feel it's no mistake my
art background brought me around to this.<br />
<br />
Gaining a sense of
control over our feelings and reactions takes courage and insight at the
very least. For me, I practice yoga, or I work to create with my hands,
and it brings me joy. When I teach, I wish this for everyone.<br />
<br />

I just found this pile of poetry clipped up on my cork board...it's a interesting mix of Rilke, Kate Richey and others. Below are engraving practice pieces, before engravers can start to work on real pieces in silver and gold.</div>

the years we at Jeanine Payer have been privileged to be asked to
create wedding rings for so many couples; some of them gay, some of the
straight, all of them deeply in love and joyously wanting to celebrate
their tremendous sense of commitment through the act of marriage. In
light of recent events surrounding the passage of Prop 8, we feel like
it is time to take action, make something beautiful, and donate half the
proceeds towards the fight Californians now face for equal marriage
rights. Using the Gandhi quote, "What barrier is there that love cannot
break?" on the popular Dale necklace design, we have made a piece that
people can wear proudly in the knowledge that love can indeed overcome
all obstacles.<br /><br />Fifty percent of the proceeds from each sale of
this piece will be donated to Equality California. Founded in 1998, EQCA
celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2008, commemorating a decade of
progress towards equal rights for all Californians. In the past 10
years, EQCA has helped change California from a state with extremely
limited legal protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender
individuals to a state with some of the most comprehensive civil rights
protections in the nation. Visit them at <a href="http://www.eqca.org/" target="_blank" title="http://www.eqca.org/">http://www.eqca.org/</a>.<br />

Here are some shots of our studio that was in the historic jewelry mecca, The Phelan Building dating back from...who knows when. My studio and offices were there for 18 years. We grew organically in that space- by just breaking through walls to add suites when we grew. It was a bit like a crazy rabbit warren at one point, but fun. Our new space is better organized, efficient and airy with big walls for artwork and a giant bookshelf. I really love having people visit us here, but when I look back at these photos I feel nostalgic for the old days and for the people who worked there with us.

My jewelry book collection is complete with this rare book by Paul Villiard! No topic seems off limits for Paul, ceramics, plumbing, woodworking and even candy making! My favorite is 'Moths and How to Rear Them'--who knew the needed rearing! To me his work is reminiscent of the great MFK Fisher's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M._F._K._Fisher">'Consider the Oyster'</a> or Brenda Euland's inspired classic, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brenda_Ueland">'If You Want to Write.'</a><br />
<br />
Here is an exert that exemplifies his prose, as he waxes poetic about the fiendish endeavor of polishing:<br />
<br />
<i>...This is characteristic of the buff. It seems as though they are designed to snatch the work and slam it up against the wall, or dash it to the floor where it will bounce all around the room, each bounce putting a new bruise on your heart! Sometimes you will find a buff so fiendish that it is almost impossible to touch without this happening.</i><br />
<i> </i><br />
And the book is also chock-a-block full of smart suggestions to ignite some big ideas<i>!</i><br />

Abby and William are little atoms
that when joined together equal more than the sum of their parts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> I took them to be photographed by Sven in
his Hayes Valley studio, and it was as if <a href="http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAZ2Dy9yAbMylKSZfDkxL1dY-gubtv4kDXavI0euNrPkaUu-TRxuOj1EpcG0mlBZXpAEf_Wohocl399RcDOajg8r_ZcOcZzS6eBYktMTkh1Zs9jj5HXCh9yov33nWQHw7cKQUHuOU0PKXo/s1600/thing1_and_thing2.gif&imgrefurl=http://domesticapologist.blogspot.com/2011/10/so-long-thing-1-and-thing-2.html&h=434&w=584&sz=53&tbnid=bqymb0NIuPIyeM:&tbnh=88&tbnw=119&zoom=1&usg=__oHDD4wscO1vINFZhGeZhG9tuKTs=&docid=RDjT0M0E9retWM&sa=X&ei=wU14UbjOHaSGjALLhIHABA&ved=0CDkQ9QEwAQ&dur=351">Thing One and Thing Two</a> were let
loose from their crate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They felt instantly at home enough to jump on the couch and
yell at the top of their lungs—they also ferret away
Japanese yen sitting in a dish.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Soon
they are on an adventure going from room to room, looking with wonder at tiny,
unusual sculptures and figurines that were both mysterious and beautiful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Abby’s mother and I are really happy to show
them a glimpse into another world, a different aesthetic, which is all Sven,
world traveler, accomplished photographer, and exceptional <a href="http://www.officewiederholt.com/projects/ow-socks/">sock maker</a>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I love the part of his work that includes <a href="http://www.svenwiederholt.com/prevportfolio/index.html">children</a>.
He captures that authentic child vibrancy, the moments betwixt and between--
they never look like they are in a ‘sitting’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I have known Sven since we both lived together as warehouse mates in a
very raw work/live space south of Market in the early 90’s. It is nice to have
him take pictures of my son and his bestie, and have them become part of his
work, and mine, it is a special connection all around.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When he meets the children he points to his
<a href="http://www.jeaninepayer.com/xcart/product.php?productid=17258&cat=309&page=1">Dogwood</a> necklace and asks Will, ‘Do you know where this came from? Your
momma's brain.'<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
I choose these two because of their relationship
with not only each other but with us, their mommies—we are just off camera.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I want to
capture an exuberance and love that they have for each other, their
families and the generous dousing of joie de vivre that spills over, as
everyone on our block can attest to.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The nosegay is from my own mom's garden
which is a sweet touch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One more
thing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A few days afterwards, William,
finding a <a href="http://www.jeaninepayer.com/xcart/product.php?productid=16965&cat=252&page=7">Mano</a> necklace in a box that is to go to his school
auction, decides to give it to Abby and after making this proclamation to his father,
he scrambles over there and presents it to her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whether playing dueling harmonicas over the
back fence or sending stomp rockets onto the neighborhood roofs, I just know
these two will carry these sweet memories in their hearts forever</div>

This piece was inspired by a giant antler I took a picture of at the SF flower mart at a little place hidden in the back that carries all sorts of unusual odds and ends. Any chance to carve something from wax, to make a representation of something that can be worn, this is my love, my meditation. The 18k plate at the end of the antler carries the words<b> </b>of 18th century chemist, Antione Laurent Lavoisier from the book, Elements of Chemistry; <br />
<br />
<b><i>Nothing is lost, nothing created: everything is transformed.</i> </b><br />
<br />
Sometimes it comes together perfectly for the words and form. It is tricky when managing a family, a business and a creative life, tricky to be present enough to even allow for the right words to appear. I found this in a book of poetry by one of my favorite poets and translators, Jane Hirshfield.<br />
<br />
I have been stretching myself lately--- trying my hand at a few things I am not exactly naturally talented at. For example, I just started taking my own pictures of my collection for the website. You may notice a difference in how things look going forward. It may look funny for a while until I get better. With all due respect to our photographer, I just felt the shots were looking just a bit too enhanced-- so I thought I would try it myself using natural light. Admittedly I am a total novice at this point. My friend <a href="http://www.officewiederholt.com/">Sven Wiederholt</a> came to the studio and gave me a crash course on photography and now I owe him a Black Dogwood necklace as a thank you. Sven is infinitely patient, generous and talented. I took the ones above and I really appreciate that the piece really does look like that, without enhancements, the writing is exactly that clear and the silver is darkened to that degree.<br />
<br />
The Stag necklace along with other new styles, and a selection of fun new versions of classics are coming to our site soon, hopefully by the end of this week if we can get it together. There is a lot going on here at the studio...pictures of our new showroom will be coming shortly! <br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
In my desire to streamline and simplify my personal and
professional energies I have made the difficult decision to close my little
store on Market Street.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The last day it
will be open is December 24th.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I thank
everyone for supporting me and my business over the years by coming in and
trusting us to help you find not only the right pieces , but also the right
words.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also am especially
thankful to the wonderful people who have helped me run the store over the
years. As the world’s tiniest retail space in San Francisco, it is a little
boat with a one man crew!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know it was
off the beaten path and not the easiest place to find, even in plain
sight!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As those of you who have visited
the store will attest, we don’t have room to have a proper party to bid adieu
to the special little place we called our jewel box.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Again, thank you for your continued support
for what we do.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thank you for letting us
be a part of your lives, as we continue to put our energies wholeheartedly into
our wholesale business and website.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">The excerpts I used in the last collection were primarily culled from the work of award winning Native
American poet <a href="http://www.joyharjo.com/Home.html">Joy
Harjo</a>. Joy is a member of the Muskogee (Creek) Nation and of Cherokee descent. Her book, She Had Some Horses is now considered a classic. Harjo has received several awards including the William Carlos Williams Award from the Poetry Society in America. It is an honor to be able to use her work.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">A few months ago, a friend brought me one of Joy's poems that he
found on a San Francisco <a href="http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2012/04/07/vta-puts-poems-on-buses-trains-for-national-poetry-month/">bus</a> during National Poetry Month. I put it up on my cork board in the studio to inspire me while I designed. See that post <a href="http://blog.jeaninepayer.com/search/label/Creativity%2FProcess">here</a>. Right away I knew I wanted to put her words on jewelry. I used parts that I felt reflected on hopefulness, awakening and resiliency. It is difficult to describe poetry but N. Scott Momaday does it well in his review of <i>She Had Some Horses</i>, "The
poetry here is of mythic and timeless character, native and lyrical in
its expression, profound in its reflection of a worldview that is at
once precise and comprehensive. There is much of the oral tradition
here, much that is worthy of our closest attention and deepest respect.” </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><i>--Janice Mirikitani from Breaking Silence </i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> I recently started using the work of San Francisco Poet Laureate, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janice_Mirikitani">Janice Mirikitani</a>. Janice is described as a visionary, community activist, leader,
poet and editor. She is also the Founding President of the Glide Foundation in
partnership with her husband Reverend Cecil Williams. My heart was warmed to hear that she was thrilled to have her words used this way. I am not a writer so I have a deep respect
for the power of words, especially poetry. I am always deeply honored to be able to work with these very distinguished poets and translators. I look forward to using more of Janice's poetry in the next collection as we only used it on a few pieces so far. Not only is she an award winning Poet Laureate, but also because of her work and commitment to the legendary Glide Memorial Church, Mrs. Mirikitani is a bit of a local celebrity here in San Francisco and we absolutely cannot wait to meet her in person. A visit to the studio is in the works for November.</span><br />

<a href="http://www.joyharjo.com/Home.html"><i><span style="font-size: small;">Transfix us with love. --Joy Harjo from The Creation Story</span></i></a><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">As an artist sometimes
I am just not ready, do not have the skill or concentration to embark on the
idea that is waiting in the back spaces of my mind. One of these fascinations that has captured my imagination since childhood has to do with flowers. My go-to-doodles were always magical, make-believe flowers, fanciful with bright red tongues and wild yellow stamens. To be honest they were a little psychadellic...and a bit phallic in hindsight. I am fascinated with all sorts of things about flowers: how they move
through their cycles and what exactly about them is so beautiful, which ones
are my favorites and how to translate them into metal. </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">I decided to revisit the flower theme in my last two collections in a series of <a href="https://www.jeaninepayer.com/xcart/product.php?productid=17258&cat=309&page=1">Dogwood</a>
necklaces. (See <a href="http://www.twistonline.com/product/fiore-necklace">Fiore</a>, a design from four years ago) I thought it would be
interesting to capture the moment when the flower is in repose, just about to fall
into decay and break apart. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.jeaninepayer.com/xcart/product.php?productid=17259&cat=252&page=15">Wabi Sabi</a> is a piece about the last part of a flower as it falls away, loosening a Tahitian pearl and tiny diamond. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Poetry is powerful; the words
are short bursts of color, condensed into a sharp economy. I like to think these dark flowers carry an ambiguous and mysterious poem all their own, completely open to interpretation as all poems are.</span><br />
