http://artisandesigngallery.com/artist/jill-italiano-jewelry/rss/rss/ Jill Italiano loves the blowtorch, hand crafting every piece for the jewelry line Jill.i Designs. Begining with a high-end culinary career and a passion for creativity, the Allentown, Pennsylvania native went from a love of fashion to French desserts to jewelry. Landing a position specializing in pastry arts in the kitchen of high-end resort Auberge du Soleil, Jill spent 10 years in the industry before needing a change that brought her back to the East Coast. Jill rediscovered jewelry while working for a gold importer and eventually founded the fine jewelry line Jill.i Designs. Jill's signature visual quality and classic culinary touch has landed her jewelry in Bazaar, Red Book, Cosmopolitan, WWD, Lucky, SHOP Etc.com, New York, Westchester, television station Fox 5 and more.
