About the Designer

Are you over it, too?

Bored by what the mainstream brands are pitching you? 

So often it all looks like more of the same. 

Tired of not having the time? You’re lucky if you have time to purchase groceries in-person, never mind go shopping for yourself. And when you do…nothing is all that unique or accessible — or you.

Frustrated by decision fatigue? You’re constantly responsible for decision making at home and at work…Even if you love fashion — or once did — do you really have time and energy in such excess that you’ll happily agonize over countless options when pulling together an outfit, only to resort to all black — again? Um, been there...and I’m exhausted just thinking about it! 

The average adult makes 33,000 to 35,000 total decisions each day, including what we will eat, what we will say, and how we'll say it, what we will wear… 

The “what we will wear” part? That’s where I come in. 

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 successfully predicting, interpreting and executing trends, trends, trends…I'm passionate about offering a more personal perspective. Through original design, an inspired aesthetic, thoughtfully handcrafted construction, and the power and beauty of natural stones, I seek to design jewelry and accessories that you can count on to personalize your look. 

Let ME overthink FOR YOU!

While I am definitely a guilty party when it comes to donning black more than not, I know that jewelry is the best hack for taking a standard look to high style.

We all need go-to wear-with-all pieces that are beyond basic. They're versatile and interesting and promise polish and style without a lot of overthinking, second guessing and trial and error. And you deserve the kind of unique design details and stunning stones that make you feel special (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)... now & forever,

Jennifer Walters Anstendig
