"I only want to create jewelry that works with all facets of a woman's life," says Jill "Zé", who has done just that with the versatile and captivating collection.

"I design for a woman like myself, someone with a career, family and social life. The same jewelry should take her from a T-shirt-and-jeans day to a dressed-up evening," says Jill, who enjoys a reputation as one of America's leading jewelry designers.

The exciting Collection, introduced in 1998, bears the designer's nickname, "Zé," and is available at specialty jewelry boutiques and fine jewelry stores across the country.. You'll find a complete list on our Retailers page.

In 2000, Jill received the Overall Excellence in Design Award from The American Gem Society. The award-winning piece, plus others in the collection, were featured in AGS Collection's national advertising campaign in consumer fashion magazines in which they were worn by TV personalities Lisa Ling and Meredith Vieira. Also that year, the World Gold Council selected a creation as a "winner" of their Gold Trends 2000 Design Competition. In 2005, Jill received and Honorable Mention in the Diva Awards design competition sponsored by the Woman's Jewelry Association.

Jill says of her collection, "I believe jewelry has to be something a woman enjoys wearing everyday. It becomes her personal statement. The unique beauty of a piece is revealed in its details, little surprises appreciated from different angles. It's a look that she can call her own."

Imaginative. Unique. Elegant. Romantic. Fresh. A few words that describe Jill's new bridal jewelry collection. Each design is available in your choice of 14kt, 18kt or platinum. Though each piece is distinctive, in many cases, it is part of an ensemble.

"I believe bridal jewelry in all its forms is an expression of love for now and forever. The artistry of the piece must have a certain timeless quality to it. It's also about individual style. I want a woman to feel as if my design was created with her in mind."
