About Jennifer Vinje
Jennifer created Anueva Jewelry in 2014 with the idea of making the old — new. She uses recycled gold, platinum, and repurposed antique diamonds to create new designs inspired by nature and antique trends. She aims to share her passion for creating hand-carved pieces with nature-loving, environmentally-friendly consumers.
Beyond the successful business that Jennifer has created, she is a gracious, supportive, and strong leader. Being a female small business owner is not without its challenges and Jennifer manages it with grace. After a series of successful careers, she has managed to truly live out her dream and encourage others—especially women—to do the same. This is a topic that Jennifer and Patti explore in the podcast episode titled, “Encouraging Women to Adorn Themselves.”
