J'Adorn Designs
J'Adorn Designs is a full service custom jewelry studio serving the Baltimore metro area and shipping worldwide. All of our jewelry is made to order, so customizations are both available and welcomed. To inquire about a specific piece, contact us and we'll be happy to assist you!
My name is Alison (but you can call me "Ali") and I'm the artist & jeweler behind J'Adorn Designs. I go by many titles because I wear all the "hats" in this one-woman small business; some of my favorites include designer, artist, metalsmith, CEO, and custom jeweler.
I discovered my passion for personalized accessories in late 2011 when I was planning my wedding and was dissatisfied with the jewelry offerings I found at bridal shops. I opted to make a set of matching jewelry for my own bridesmaids instead, and just a few short months later opened an online shop for my creations.
J'Adorn Designs is an award-winning artisan jewelry studio located in historic Savage Mill, a converted former textile mill near Baltimore, Maryland. As a small operation, we have the flexibility to offer customizations to our existing line of products as well as fully bespoke designs, repairs, and redesigns of your existing jewelry. We proudly ship worldwide and offer wholesale ordering to a select group of retailers.
If you purchase jewelry from the pre-designed collections in our online shop, you can expect to receive your order within 4 to 6 weeks of placing your order. This timeframe is due to the fact that each piece is made to order in our small, one-person studio, which enables us to easily accommodate customization requests. (Note: If you would like us to make customizations to your order, please make your request via our contact form prior to purchasing to ensure that we can make the changes you desire.)
For custom and bespoke jewelry, a minimum of 8 to 12 weeks is typical. Details for individual custom orders will be determined during our consultation and reflected in each individual contract.
Rush orders can be placed by request. We take these on a case by case basis, and may include extra expedition costs. Please feel free to reach out with any questions if you need to place a rush order!

Please note: custom and bespoke orders begin at a minimum of $250.00
Our handcrafted jewelry uses a variety of metals to offer a broad price and quality range.
From the pre-designed line of jewelry, most of our work is made from solid 14k gold, sterling silver, bronze, gold- and rose gold-filled metals. Wedding fashion styles and hair accessories are made with plated metals but they are all completely hypoallergenic, with details like sterling silver earring posts to ensure your comfort while wearing our jewelry. All metal types are noted in the individual product descriptions and we can customize most pieces to accommodate your special needs and requests.
For custom orders, we offer a broad range of options for metals and we will work with you to determine what metal option is the best choice for your particular design based on your budget and individual needs.
We have a working studio located in Historic Savage Mill, about 40 minutes outside of Baltimore, Maryland. Although we are not open for regular retail hours, appointments are available for private shopping experiences and consultations, and we sometimes host special open studio events. Contact us to learn more about these options!
We also show and sell our work at several local and regional fine craft shows as well as some smaller pop-up shops. If you'd like to know when and where we will be, check out our events page and be sure to subscribe to our VIP contact list to be notified about upcoming events.
If you'd like to host a trunk show or include our products in your pop-up shop, please contact us here.

Jewelry may be returned for a store credit if it is sent back in new condition in its original packaging within 30 days of purchase. Store credit for jewelry received as a gift will be issued if the item in question is still being sold in our online shop, at the item's current selling price.
Any piece of jewelry you purchase comes with a guarantee that it will last you in a durable way. If your piece breaks due to regular wear and tear within six months of purchase, just send it back along with your receipt and we will replace or repair it for free. Returns after the six months mark will be done on a discretionary basis with applicable fees determined by case.

Feature prominently in my work from cast natural objects and wax carvings/sculptures to more interpreted elements expressed through fabricated and wire-wrapped pieces.
I incorporate vibrant gemstones through techniques such as cast-in-place, traditional stone setting, and detailed beadwork, bringing out the rich colors and natural beauty of each stone in my designs.
I aim to craft meaningful heirlooms that are designed for comfortable wear and built to last, creating timeless pieces for people of all genders, from every walk of life.
