Forbidden to have pierced ears, designer Jill Schwartz resorted to gluing beads to her ears at just three years old.

Fast forward to scavenging bead stores while traveling in Europe as a young woman — making and selling jewelry to pay her way as she went.

Now Jill sells to Anthropologie, Harrods, Neiman Marcus, and boutiques around the world. While her mixture of vintage and modern elements has evolved over the years, each piece remains unmistakably, inimitably “Jill.”
