Career
Meyer returned to her jewelry making roots in 2004 when, frustrated by a search for a leaf charm for a necklace, she decided to make her own. After taking several jewelry making classes and consulting with other jewelers, Meyer designed her trademark leaf-shaped 18-karat gold charm, which to her represents "turn over a new leaf". The exposure led to Meyer founding her own company, Jennifer Meyer Jewelry, and her line of rings, charms, pendants, and necklaces is distributed through such luxury stores as Barneys New York, Roseark in Los Angeles, California, and Maxfield in Beverly Hills, California.
She was named "2007 Jeweler of the Year" in the Us Magazine "Hot Hollywood Style" issue.
Her heart-shaped locket adorns the neck of Kirsten Dunst"s character Mary Jane Watson as a gift from her boyfriend Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) in Spider-Manitoba 3.
