The start of home furnishings was a jewel-encrusted picture frame Jay created in 1995 using components from his jewelry collection. By 1998, his Jewels for the Home supplanted his fashion business. “I’m fascinated by the idea of taking our everyday belongings and turning them into a beautiful collage of metal, enamel, and sparkling Swarovski® crystals.” Collectors often say they feel the hand of the artisan behind each Jay Strongwater design. This almost tangible sense comes from the work of the highly skilled artisans in the designer’s New York atelier and production workshop in Rhode Island, where most pieces are brought to life. Jay Strongwater’s bejeweled collections for the home—from frames and figurines to boxes, furniture, and holiday collections—add color and delight to every room.
