Jay Strongwater: More Than Jewelry

In 1981, Jay Feinberg, a twenty-one year old sophomore, stayed his mother's hand as she was about to purchase a necklace. He wanted to design something especially for her. A trip to the local craft store yielded some big macram beads, black, and gold paint. He made for his mother a series of necklaces which she wore about town. When a boutique owner liked the jewelry and requested some pieces for her shop, a career was begun!

Jay Feinberg spent his summer making the big, bold jewelry that characterized the 1980s. He diligently took his creations to "Open Days" at the prestigious New York department stores and soon had many orders for his work. He quit school and pursued his new career, landing an important position working with Oscar de la Renta designing jewelry to be worn by his beautiful models.

Opening up a partnership under his own name, the business closed and Jay Feinberg lost the right to produce his work under his own name! Taking his mother's maiden name, he went on to make it famous: today Jay Strongwater's work is known and sought after globally.

His beautiful jeweled pieces have a vintage air about them. The Jay Stongwater collection now contains so much more than jewelry. He has designed a wide array of items for the home, including jeweled clocks, compacts, tables, Christmas ornaments, candelabras, and tiny boxes. There are floral tea lights, enameled jars-even a cream and white enamel tissue box adorned with jewels and metals. Finally, he has a stunning line of picture frames which have become favored gifts among celebrities.

Jay Strongwater pieces have a special quality about them, evoking the early days of Hollywood glamour. His sparkling works are whimsical and charming. Often taking his design inspiration from nature, he crafts turtles, frogs, butterflies, leaves, and soft-petaled flowers. These gorgeous pieces exhibit a high level of artistry and craftsmanship, making them gifts any receiver would be delighted to own.
