Jill Herlands is a self-taught artist redefining contemporary adornment through a lens of rebellion, contradiction, and instinct.
She hand-fabricates each piece under her eponymous brand, forging metal into sculptural works that defy categorization. Her practice is rooted in disruption. Eschewing sketches, trends, and symmetry, Jill allows the materials to lead—often unconventional, always deliberate.
Concrete, oxidized silver, mica, crushed gemstones: selected not for their polish, but for their tension. Her compositions evolve in real time, shaped by improvisation, impulse, and resistance. Jill’s work embraces imperfection as a language of authenticity. Each piece is a standalone structure—raw, unrepeatable, and always with the client in mind.
Part jewelry, part artifact, her creations are wearable declarations for those who live unbound by convention. Her collections challenge the decorative and honor the unexpected, making her work as compelling on a shelf as it is on the body.
Herlands’ award-winning work is featured in fashion magazines including recent editionsof Bazaar, Paper, and Nylon.
Her designs are carried in galleries and boutiques worldwide.
