Jessica McGrath’s jewelry reflects a lifelong passion for color, texture, and geometric design, shaped by her experiences as a military spouse and her travels around the world. After spending over 30 years moving between coastal cities, she developed a deep appreciation for the art of jewelry design. This fascination led her to study Studio Art with a concentration in Metals at Monterey Peninsula College, where she honed her skills and continued her journey as a jeweler.

Her work blends enamel, gemstones, silver, gold, patination, keum-bo, and granulation—each material and process chosen for its ability to convey both beauty and meaning. A signature aspect of Jessica’s jewelry is the integration of textures inspired by her life—she creates etched texture plates from photographs taken on her journeys, embedding her jewelry with a personal story and a sense of place.

As the founder of Studio JmcG Jewelry, Jessica sells her work at national art shows, in galleries, and through her website. She is also an active member of the arts community, serving on the boards of the Baltimore Jewelry Center, Artist Open Studios, and as President of the Annapolis Arts Alliance. Through her jewelry, Jessica seeks to share the stories and colors of the world, turning personal experience into wearable art.
