Our Story
The Beginning
Ether Jewelry was founded on a simple idea: jewelry should carry history, meaning, and permanence without feeling inaccessible.
As a lifelong lover of vintage and antique jewelry, I was constantly drawn to pieces from the Victorian and Edwardian eras. But time and time again, I ran into the same limitations: true antique jewelry was often prohibitively expensive, difficult to source in wearable condition, or too delicate for everyday life. The pieces I loved most felt untouchable, only meant to be admired, not lived in.
Ether was created to change that.
Modern Heirlooms, Inspired by History
We design modern heirloom jewelry inspired by historic forms, symbolism, and craftsmanship. Pieces that honor the past while fitting seamlessly into modern life. Each design references the romance and detail of antique jewelry, reimagined with structure and durability for daily wear.
Our pieces are designed to be worn often, felt on the body, and eventually passed down with intention.
Craft, Materials & Sustainability
Every Ether piece is crafted using recycled sterling silver and thoughtfully selected materials, produced in small batches with longevity in mind. We prioritize intentional weight, strong silhouettes, and durable construction so each piece feels substantial, not fleeting, and ages beautifully over time.
Our approach to sustainability is rooted in thoughtful production: recycled materials, small-batch manufacturing, and designs meant to last far beyond a single season.
Female-Founded & Community-Driven
Ether Jewelry is proudly female-founded and independently owned. What began as a personal search for meaningful jewelry has grown into a community-driven brand with a strong and engaged social presence.
Through social media, we share the stories behind each piece, the history, symbolism, and inspiration inviting our audience into the creative process and building connection through transparency and storytelling.
Our Philosophy
Meet The Founder
Jenny Nowak
Ether Jewelry was founded by Jenny, a designer with a deep appreciation for historic jewelry and the stories objects carry through time.
After years of collecting and studying antique pieces particularly from the Victorian and Edwardian eras, Jenny saw a gap in the market. The jewelry she loved most was often too fragile to wear, difficult to source, or priced beyond reach. Ether was born from the desire to recreate that sense of romance, symbolism, and permanence in pieces designed for modern life.
Today, Jenny leads Ether’s creative direction, designing each piece with intention, balancing historical inspiration, durability, and emotional resonance. Through a strong social presence and community-driven approach, she continues to share the stories behind each design, inviting others to connect with jewelry in a more meaningful way.
