At least year’s One of a Kind Show, I discovered this talented jewellery designer and immediately understood her unique vision and use of precious metals and organic materials. JENNY GRECO creates very wearable rings, necklaces, bracelets and earrings that compliment any outfit from jeans to evening gowns, all at affordable prices and that guarantee lots of ooo’s and aah’s.
Born and raised in Italy before coming to Canada in her mid-teens, Jenny’s sense of style and luxe shines clearly through her designs. She originally attended University of Toronto in the Science program but soon realized microscopes and Petri dishes were not for her so a switch to a more creative life via OCAD brought her to a life surrounded by bling and glitz! Upon graduating, she started her own line of jewellery and her imagination ran wild, incorporating all sorts of metals, precious and semi-precious gemstones, wood and leather.
I asked Jenny to share her story, her inspirations and her craft in a number of videos….
Being a pearl lover myself, I can’t wait to see how this large necklace works out. Jenny showed me where all the magic happens – her workbench and the little room where all the fire and casting goes on.
With Mother’s Day is coming up soon, why not drop in and pick up something pretty for your favourite lady? Does she like earrings? A gorgeous necklace or a fabulous ring?
She also creates fab jewellery for men, too, so if you’re looking for something special for that hunky dude in your life, check these out…
So many lovely, sparkly, sexy wearable works of art – you gotta go visit Jenny’s studio located at 374 Danforth (2nd floor) which is the n.w. corner of Danforth and Chester just around the corner from the subway station. Follow her on social media IG: @jennygrecojewellery or Facebook/jennygrecojewellery. And you can see more of her work on her website: www.jennygreco.com
Jenny invites custom orders – she’ll work with you to design your one-of-a-kind piece, and can also recommend beautiful gems for bridal gifts, presents for the bridal party or custom anniversary and birthday gifting, too.
In June, Jenny moves her studio/store to the Distillery District (15 Casegoods Lane) so watch for social media posts announcing her new location. Until then, see you on the Danforth!
