About Us

Wear Ever Jewelry Gallery and Studio School sells handcrafted jewelry created by U.S.-based artists. We offer our curated collection of jewelry online and in-store at our location in historic Old Town Alexandria.

We strive to offer unique designs that are expertly crafted, flexible, and easy to wear. While much of our work features traditional fine metals, such as silver, 18K/22K gold, and a variety of gemstones. We also feature designs made by artists that use alternative materials like steel, rubber, enamel, recycled plastic, and nylon.

We sell all kinds of original and authentic jewelry, including pendants, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rings, and accessories (like handbags and scarves). Wear Ever Jewelry also has an engagement and wedding line. We like to say that all of our items are made with love.

A Studio With Experience

Owner Jennifer Jordan Park, also an instructor and curator for Wear Ever Jewelry, studied art and jewelry making at Jersey City University (M.A.) and the University of Tennessee (B.F.A.). Park has exhibited her jewelry in shows and galleries throughout the nation, and her award-winning work has appeared in several magazines. Park’s jewelry is available at Wear Ever Jewelry.

Our four talented instructors have spent years — some of them decades — perfecting their craft. Even our customer experience/social media manager knows how to do bench work.

 

Mindful Working Practices

Sustainable practices are important to us, and all of our jewelry is ethically made under fair working conditions. Some of our artists use reclaimed and recycled materials. We also source our supplies locally, minimizing our carbon footprint by avoiding overseas shipping.

We like to support small businesses, and our artists provide us with the opportunity to offer high-quality designs from independent artisans rather than mass-produced pieces found in department stores.

 

Custom Jewelry Creation

Wear Ever Jewelry can create custom jewelry designs for clients. Our pro jewelers will work directly with you throughout the entire design process. You can make an original piece or reimagine outdated jewelry using your stones or one of ours. A designer will provide you with hand sketches and/or CAD renderings for approval so we can make the perfect piece.

We have goldsmiths and bench jewelers on staff who will handcraft your jewelry at our King Street Studio. Please ask us anything about our custom jewelry design services — all consultations are free.

 

On-Site Jewelry Repairs

Sometimes, our jewelry needs a little extra care. That’s why we also provide jewelry repair and inside-ring engraving in our store. Feel free to bring your valuables in for an evaluation to see if they need repairs or professional cleaning.

Whether you are in need of a resizing for a ring, a chain repair, or stone tightening, our skilled jewelers can assist. Wear Ever Jewelry can repair jewelry that’s been purchased from our gallery or from another jewelry store.

 

Learn Jewelry Making From Our Dedicated Staff

At Wear Ever Jewelry, we like to share our love of the art form. We offer a variety of jewelry classes, from Couples Ring Making to Jewelry Techniques, at our Alexandria location. You can choose from small-group instruction or private lessons. We also have open studio hours for artists who need a space to work. Open studio usage requires meeting our guidelines to work safely in the studio without assistance. Create special memories and make beautiful jewelry with friends and family through our group experiences.
