Meet the owner of Prism Jewels and Maker's Loft:
Jennifer Biddle is the creative force behind Prism Jewels, a jewelry line that reflects her deep connection to self-care, empowerment, and the beauty found in life’s most meaningful moments. After spending a decade selling her handmade jewelry at craft fairs, Jennifer took the next step in her journey by joining Maker's Loft in Oakland when it was located on 13th Street. In September 2021, both Prism Jewels and Maker's Loft moved to Piedmont Avenue, marking a new chapter as the world began to emerge from the pandemic. In January 2024, Jennifer took the reins of the space, merging the two brands into a vibrant, unified environment that reflects her creative vision.
In addition to her jewelry, Jennifer curates an eclectic collection of handmade goods at Maker’s Loft. Her selection includes distinctive home décor, accessories, wellness products, and healing crystals—sacred stones chosen for their beauty, transformative energy, and spiritual properties. Many of her designs also carry a touch of magic and celestial inspiration, drawing from the mysteries of the stars, moon, and universe. Each piece is thoughtfully chosen to inspire creativity, spark joy, and foster a sense of connection, with a dash of playful sarcasm to remind you to tap into your inner power.
Raised on Maui and in New Mexico, Jennifer’s background in world architectural history from the University of New Mexico infuses her work with earthiness, spirituality, and divine geometry. Having been on a healing journey for over 20 years, she approaches her designs and curation with mindfulness and intention. For Jennifer, her jewelry and curated collection are more than just objects—they are reminders to nurture yourself, feel empowered, and build deeper connections with others.
With a focus on healing, authenticity, and magical energy, Jennifer aims to brighten your world with each piece she creates and curates. Her hope is that her offerings inspire, heal, and bring a little laughter into your life.
