The start of Jody Layne ...





                                         


Attending The Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising I quickly became familiar with the fabulous city of Downtown Los Angeles. Engrossing myself in the various markets  of the city I stumbled upon the jewelry district and instantly fell in love.

Realizing that not all metals were created equal I found a metal smithing class and truly fell in love with this output of creativity. Working with beads, stones, tools have more than expanded my skills in jewelry design.    - Facte Ars
