ABOUT

Welcome!

Thank you for visiting OPAL x Anvil! My name is Jennifer and I am an Indigenous metalsmith and designer.

After an extensive career in film, tv, and the wholesale apparel industry, I finally took the plunge and dove back into the world of metalsmithing after over 20 years. I had longed for all of those years to come back to it and here I am.

All pieces are handmade with responsibly sourced precious metals and stones. Some designs will have limited availability, but some will be offered in small batch quantities depending on my supply availability.

All of my designs have a story behind them or a significant meaning for myself; whether a memory, an adventure, or a dedication to someone of importance in my life. I enjoy sharing my experiences and learning from the experiences of others and I love storytelling through metalsmithing.

the goodest studio boy

This is Tacoma, AKA TACO!

Taco is the resident studio dog (actually, he is more like the BOSS). He is always willing to offer a helping paw and has been by my side as I have spent the last 3+ years navigating these crazy times. He is my world and don’t worry, all of the beautiful products that I ship out to my treasured customers will not be covered in fur!
