Jane A. Gordon (born June 9, 1956) is an American jewelry designer based in New York City.
Early life
Gordon was born June 9, 1957, to Tammy and Leonard Gordon. Gordon grew up in the Mainline area of Philadelphia. She graduated from the Miquon Upper School in 1975 and New York University in 1978 with a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Dramatic Literature, Comparative Religion and Experimental Psychology.[1]
Gordon lived in London for 6 years after graduating from NYU, where she worked for Bernard Cornfeld and First Composers Company, owned by Freddy Bienstock.[citation needed]
Gordon worked for 15 years as a commercial real-estate broker in New York City and was later employed as a sales manager and corporate gifts coordinator for an internet-based luxury goods purveyor LuxuryFinder.com. When the site shut down and she was laid off, she decided to go into the corporate gifts business on her own, setting up a company called WishBrokers.com.[2] Soon after, Gordon started designing jewelry.
Jane A. Gordon Jewelry
Gordon's jewelry has been carried by retail venues including Saks Fifth Avenue, Fortunoff, Crystal Cruises, Holland America Line, Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd., Azamara Club Cruises, Celebrity Cruises, and Costa Cruises.[citation needed] She went on to sell her jewelry online.
Gordon designed a logo for the Palm Beach Club with a line of jewelry to go with it in gold, silver, and diamonds and is working on expanding this concept of bundling a company’s logo with a line of jewelry.[3]
Her work often represents specific themes or messages. Her “Palm Beach” line features a gold bowl with diamonds tumbling out of it, signifying abundance, she says.[3]
In 2008, Gordon was featured in Lustre Magazine's "Who's Who in Designer Jewelry."[4]
