Designer Spotlight: ‘Queen of Color’ Jane Taylor Makes Sculptural Heirlooms

Sponsored
Jane Taylor Jewelry is a family-run company focused on creating modern heirlooms. Born out of Jane’s lifelong passion for jewelry and design, she founded her eponymous company in 1994, and has been fashioning unique, colorful creations ever since.
According to Jane, different colors make jewelry fun. Bold color and sculptural symmetry permeate her designs. She elevates classic shapes in playful ways, resulting in effortlessly sophisticated pieces for the on-the-go woman.
Clean lines, geometric shapes and easy wearability have been the hallmarks of the Jane Taylor brand since day one. Frequently eschewing norms of any sort in favor of doing things her own way, her classic designs have always had a rebellious twist that reflects her unique voice.
Embracing rich colors in a variety of gemstones, her work embodies everyday luxury. Gemstones sourced from all over the globe are transformed into wearable treasures. Each hand-selected stone is a limited natural resource. The gemstones she selects are only available in limited quantities, making each piece of Jane Taylor Jewelry unique.

Leadership in Action: ‘Family, Community and Spiritual Connection’ Drives Success for Henry Richardson

How did you get to where you are today? The present moment is a combined history of my family, my time as an athlete, my passion for learning, and my desire to see the world be better. I grew up as a successful springboard and platform diver, however, an injury caused me to seek alternative treatments to heal my body. In that process, I discovered the power of yoga, exercise, meditation, mindset, and nutrition. This holistic approach eventually led me to open a Pilates and cycling studio called DEFINE body & mind. I opened studios around the nation, and after selling most of my business between 2017-2019, I was ready to explore how I could make an even greater impact on the wellbeing of our community. In 2023, I started actively working on a brand new multi-family/apartment concept called, Define Living. The idea focused on offering health and wellness services within a beautiful apartment setting to increase the wellbeing of our residents. Having a strong sense of community is the number one factor in living a happy life, so why not build a community where daily fitness, cooking classes, and social connection are the norm? We opened Define Living in March of 2024, and we couldn’t be happier with how things are being received. We are already looking at building more concepts like this in the Houston area and beyond.
