ELEMENTS by Jill Schwartz

JILL SCHWARTZ-ELEMENTS

The jewelry, frames, and photo albums that Elements Jill Schwartz designs, are a natural synthesis of her training as a graphic designer and an interior designer. 

They incorporate her love and knowledge of ancient and ethnic arts. She uses wonderfully balanced collage and assemblages.

It might be said that Jill Schwartz has design in her blood. She is the daughter of two designers, one a graphic designer the other an interior designer. 

With such creative parents, an appreciation of art was one of the cornerstones of her upbringing. 

Her fascination with jewelry was evident at an early age. 

She was forbidden to have pierced ears until the age of sixteen. 

So at three years old, she resorted to gluing beads to her earlobes.

Like her jewelry, Schwartz's talents combine different elements. 

She has an undergraduate degree in interior design from Cornell University and studied for a master's degree in graphic design at Pratt Institute.

 It was this schooling along with her trip to Europe that afforded her the confidence to start her own business. 

Jill managed to travel throughout Europe making and selling jewelry as she went. 

Each sale allowed her to extend her trip a bit longer. 

Her original plans for two months of travel were extended to one year. 

She only returned to begin her master's degree. 

Never forgetting her love of jewelry, she continued to design and sell her wares to pay the bills. 

Her jewelry business began to prosper, requiring full time attention . . . and so Elements was born.

We are so excited to have the latest line of Jill's beautiful Pieces.

They are a stunning mix of "Elements" and color!

These are just a few of her gorgeous pieces.

They can dress up any outfit.

Look great with a pair of jeans.

Or a little black dress.

Necklaces...

Earrings...

Bracelets...

and more...

Day 2 of the NYIGF!

OK...so Day 2 was so much fun! We had the chance to see more of our Friends that have been a part of Passiflora and some Friends that we have finally been able to bring into the Family!

I want to start with a couple of our Favorite finds! First is Dolan Geiman. Such a Talented Artist and so nice and really made it easy for us to be able to bring his art to Passiflora.

Since childhood, Dolan Geiman has been building an archive of found materials that inspire his mixed media artworks on a daily basis. His Chicago studio has come to resemble a life-size cabinet of Southern curiosities, not too dissimilar from the abandoned homesteads of his native Virginia where he has collected, or rescued, many treasures. Scraps from old textbooks and nature magazines, handwritten civil war love letters, metal ornaments, wooden nickels and other discarded ephemera find their way into his work; each item stirs nostalgia for a not-too-distant, more rural time and place Geiman identifies as home.

Dolan Geiman Original Mixed Media Collections are limited-edition and ongoing mixed media series. Each mixed media work is handmade and unique, featuring a slightly different composition for each member of the collection.

And finally we met Lily and her Brother Jordan. They had such a great Booth!


It was clear that they were talented and creative and that they had heart and passion.


We had so much respect for Lily in the first few moments that we met her. If you believe in Energy in Objects, then these will possess incredible, positive, loving waves of it!

Lily's fascination with clay comes not only from its earthy gritty characteristics, but also from its contrasting beauty and simplicity. She has uniquely combined these elements to design and create her dream come true, Lily Pottery.


Each piece in her collection is a wearable, handcrafted work of art. The beauty of her art is how the combination of the clay glaze and firing process ensure exclusive individuality of each piece.


Her passion and goal is to design an original, fashionable line of jewelry that is aesthetically pleasing and a pleasure to wear.


She has!
Great to meet you Both!
