Early career

Fisher graduated from the University of Southern California[5] with a bachelor's degree in Business Marketing and a minor in Fine Arts. After graduating in 1993, she began her career in fashion, working in both Los Angeles and New York as a wardrobe stylist for feature films, television shows, and commercials.

A Santa Barbara, California native, Jennifer Fisher began her career as a wardrobe stylist working on feature films, television shows, and commercials in both New York and Los Angeles. After ten years of dressing and styling Hollywood, Jennifer met her now-husband, Kevin, and they settled in New York City, where Jennifer’s company is now based.

Upon the birth of the couple’s first child, Shane, Jennifer began to look for a piece of fine jewelry that not only spelled his name, but also expressed her own personal style. Unable to find anything unique, Jennifer designed a piece with Shane’s name stamped on the front that she styled with a long, thick link gold chain. When friends, family, and even strangers began to request that Jennifer design one for them, Jennifer Fisher Jewelry was born in 2005.

Six years later, Jennifer continued to expand her line with the launch of her brass collection. From large cuffs, statement chokers, and earrings to stackable rings, the brass collection allows her to offer her signature jewelry to a growing customer base at an accessible price point.

In May 2014, Jennifer Fisher opened her flagship store on New York City’s lower Fifth Avenue.

In 2017, Jennifer expanded her business into the culinary realm with the launch of her first custom blended seasonings: Universal Salt, Curry Salt and Spicy Salt.

Jennifer Fisher Jewelry has established a loyal fan base of top celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez, Katy Perry, Michelle Obama, Naomi Watts, Rihanna, Sarah Jessica Parker and Selena Gomez to name a few.

Additionally, Jennifer has been recognized for her accomplishments as a designer. In 2012, Jennifer was a top ten finalist in the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Vogue Fashion Fund Competition. She became an official member of the CFDA the following year. In 2014, Jennifer was nominated for the CFDA Swarovski Accessories award. In 2016, she was honored with the Influencer of the Year Award at the annual Accessories Council Excellence (ACE) Awards. Jennifer received the Retail Innovation Award at the first ever Town & Country Jewelry Awards in May 2018.

Most recently, Jennifer became an American Express US Platinum Ambassador, serving as an advisor and giving exclusive insight to the new generation of Platinum card members.

Jennifer resides in New York City with her husband, two children and dog, Tito.
