After the economic shutdown, she opened Silver Peak Studio in July 2020, where she started teaching jewelry fabrication classes in a small group setting.  As demand increased, she expanded the class schedule and hired instructors. In April 2024, she expanded and moved Silver Peak Studio to Old Town Lafayette and opened the jewelry store next door to the school, where locals and visitors can shop the instructors' and students' jewelry as well as locally-made art and gifts. In January 2025, she rebranded to Silver Peak Jewelry Arts which more accurately reflects the mission and services that she provides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the owner of Silver Peak Jewelry Arts, Jen's \"why\" is to provide a safe, professional, and fun environment where students can expand their skillset in the jewelry arts and help support independent artists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eA few of Jen's favorite things is recreating outdoors, traveling, and hanging with her fur babies, Addie and Stevie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Silver Peak Jewelry Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49175634542744,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0414\/0636\/5848\/files\/Stacking_Rings_with_Stones.jpg?v=1752674111","url":"https:\/\/silverpeakjewelryarts.com\/products\/stone-stacking-ring-august-25-from-6-9-p-m","provider":"Silver Peak Jewelry Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
