An Evening with Jester Swink is a private, hosted gathering where friends come together to experience handcrafted, nature-inspired jewelry, along with a small selection of sculptural home décor, in a relaxed and meaningful way.

I host these intimate, in-home jewelry gatherings throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and Santa Cruz region, traveling to private homes for small, thoughtfully curated evenings.

It’s a gathering with the artist. Guests are invited to try pieces on, ask questions, and connect — without pressure to purchase.

Every piece is made by my hands in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Nothing is outsourced. Many pieces are one of a kind.

These evenings are especially lovely for:

◆ Women who love art, gardening, and handmade things
◆ Friends who enjoy slower, more intentional experiences
◆ Book clubs, birthday gatherings, and small celebrations
◆ Anyone who values supporting independent artists

It’s a unique alternative to traditional trunk shows — and a beautiful idea for a girls’ night, birthday celebration, or book club gathering in the Bay Area.

Most gatherings include 6–10 guests, creating an intimate and welcoming atmosphere.

Think:

◆ Wine or tea
◆ Easy conversation
◆ Jewelry passed hand to hand
◆ Stories about nature, process, and creativity
◆ Time to linger

I host a limited number of evenings (or brunch!) each season to keep them personal and meaningful.

This is not a party with pitches.

It’s a calm, art-forward gathering centered on connection.
