5 out of 5 starsJennifer's design are so unique, beautiful, and jaw dropping. Purchased this amazing necklace for my girlfriend for her birthday and she loves it! Elegant and inspired, this necklace is a perfect gift. Jennifer was beyond helpful and made sure that the necklace got across the country in less than a week, just in time for the big day after I waited to purchase. If you want to give a unique, handmade, beautiful item to someone special look no further Jennifer and her designs. Support local, support small business, support the environment, by supporting Jennifer Rong Designs First purchase of many to come. Thank you Jennifer!

5 out of 5 starsEdit: After speaking with the artist I easily got a repalcement for the defunct studs, and change to review to reflect the current product :) The pair are just as beautiful in person as they are on the pictures, solid studs, fast shipping! Will be buying from this shop again <3

A wide shot of the shop.
Making beautiful things out of junk.
I'm passionate about wood and I love junk. Upcycling and creating unique, one-of-a-kind pieces with reclaimed wood and found objects naturally became my calling. It took me a while but I love what I do now and I'd like to share my creations with you.
Aside from working primarily with old/used material, I've also adopted the culinary trend known as "nose to tail" eating. Rather than eating, I try to use every aspect of my material, from bark to wood chips and anything in between. Everything is used, nothing is wasted.
I also enjoy pairing together unconventional materials such as fur and metal. I enjoy creating jarring juxtapositions between material but overall I prefer a rustic/industrial or shabby chic aesthetic. I also appreciate a live edge/modern look.
Categories I specialize in:
Ottomans
Tables (side, coffee, dining, etc)
Storage (boxes, coat racks, shelves)
Lighting (lamps, sculptural lighting)
Houseware (cutting/serving boards, candle holders, coasters, etc)
Jewelery (earrings, necklaces, brooches, cuff links, etc)
Art (scultural pieces, wall art)
I also take custom orders and commissions. If you have an object/material you'd like upcycled I can be of help!
