About the Designer

Personal style shouldn’t feel like another decision to overthink.
The average adult makes 33,000 to 35,000 decisions each day, from what to eat to what to say, how to say it and what to wear.

That’s where Alysian comes in. Let me overthink for you.

I’m Jennifer, the designer and creator behind all things Alysian, which I consider my "Act III" (est. in 2017) after my first career as a women’s magazine writer/editor (when fashionista culture reigned) and then as a private label jewelry designer for countless major national fashion brands.

After years of predicting, interpreting and executing trends, I’m passionate about creating designs that connect in a more personal way. Original design. Natural stones. Vintage elements. Thoughtful details that go beyond the generic and empower self-expression without all the second guessing.

And while I’m absolutely guilty of wearing black more often than not, I know jewelry is the best hack for taking a standard look to styled.

We all need go-to pieces that are beyond basic: versatile, interesting and polished without the overthinking. And you deserve the kind of distinctive designs that tap into what makes you unique, powerful and maybe even a little more badass.

Some jewelry can be as soothing as it is stylish, helping you to feel cool and calm. Some jewelry, like a bold lipstick, can spark a little extra confidence that empowers you to feel more energized and in control of your day. I hope Alysian will be your destination for designs you can depend on. 

Whether you’re shopping for yourself or searching for the perfect gift, thanks so much for being here and supporting a small handcrafted business! Do reach out if I can offer any guidance.

To the power of personal style (without decision fatigue),

Jennifer Walters Anstendig
