Founding Director & Head Artist/Goldsmith

Jennifer Odell

Jennifer Odell, the visionary behind Paris & Lily, has long been captivated by ancient cultures, mythology, and world religions — a trio that fueled her passion for travel. She began designing jewelry with special pieces she’d collected on her many adventures, and soon after pursued formal goldsmithing classes to hone her skills.

Today, Jennifer continues to infuse her creations with the rich narratives and intricate beauty that surround her to provide a truly enchanting experience for Paris & Lily customers.

Fine Jewelry That’s High in Value and Steeped in Significance

Historically, gemstones and precious metals were believed to possess healing properties and symbolize oaths to oneself and others. At Paris & Lily, we honor this rich legacy by crafting handmade pieces that are not only valuable but deeply meaningful and personal. Whether you're selecting a piece for yourself or gifting it to someone special, our creations serve as timeless markers of life's milestones and cherished moments.

Paris & Lily Jewelry Making Process

At Paris & Lily, we are dedicated to traditional craftsmanship, unique styling, and sustainability. All our jewelry is handcrafted in the United States using time-honored techniques and ancient methods to ensure precision and care at every step. We also prioritize upcycling metal and gemstones whenever possible, blending heritage with eco-conscious practices.

Precious Metals and Exquisite Gemstones

Our refined processes deliberately avoid modern machinery and molds to create timeless, exceptional pieces that stand apart from predictable designs and contemporary trends. Alongside gemstones and pearls, you’ll find unique elements like ancient coins or scarab beetles set in silver or gold. We also incorporate natural cane and rattan wood in our Nantucket Lightship Basket jewelry.
