What It Is

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.

Jewelry passed hand to hand

Who It’s For

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.

For those who love handmade things

The Vibe


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.

Art to wear; objects to live with

The Experience

Each gathering lasts about 90 minutes and flows naturally:

◆ Welcome and gentle mingling
◆ A short introduction to my creative process
◆ Time to try on jewelry and explore home pieces
◆ Open conversation and connection

Guests may purchase during the evening or follow up afterward — there is never any pressure to buy.

Open your home; create connection

If you love handmade things and meaningful gatherings, this experience may be just right.

A Thank-You for the Host & Guest

Hosting an evening like this is a generous act. As a thank-you, hosts receive a hostess gift from me.

As a thank-you, I bring a hostess gift, something chosen with care. If purchases happen naturally, hosts also receive a Jester Swink credit, which can be used that night or in the future.

I also bring a small gift for a guest drawing, a heartfelt thank-you for gathering in support of slow art and handmade work.
