The studio doors are open. The stones are waiting.

October is for transformation — and what better way to mark the season than stepping inside the place where it all begins?

I'm thrilled to be participating in Gowanus Open Studios 2026, opening my studio doors at 320 Dean Street Studios for a weekend of art, community, and jewelry you can actually hold in your hands.

Come visit:

• 📅 Saturday & Sunday, October 17 & 18, 2026
• 🕛 12–6 PM both days
• 📍 320 Dean Street Studios, Gowanus, Brooklyn

What to expect

This is a rare chance to step inside the studio where every piece of Lady J Jewelry is made — to see the bench, the tools, the stones in their raw and finished forms. You'll get an early look at the freshest pieces from the Fall Collection and brand new work created just in time for the season.

And because no studio visit should go without a little indulgence: I'll be serving complimentary chocolates, macaroons from The Bearded Baker, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages. Come for the jewelry, stay for the treats.

The work you'll find

Every piece at Lady J is one of a kind — hand-selected stones, bezel-set in gold and silver, handcrafted right here in Brooklyn. October's new arrivals lean into the season: transformation stones, deep colors, pieces that feel like a milestone. If you've been waiting to find your piece in person, this is the moment.

Browse the Fall Collection → or explore Milestone Jewelry → before you visit — and come ready to be surprised by what calls to you.

Why Open Studios matters to me

Making jewelry is a solitary practice most of the time. Open Studios is the antidote — a chance to share not just the finished pieces, but the process, the intention, and the community behind the work. Gowanus has always been a neighborhood that makes things. I'm proud to be part of that.

I'd love to see you there.

— Jessica, Lady J Jewelry
