Jane A. Gordon (born June 9, 1956 or June 9, 1957) is an American jewelry designer based in New York City.

Early life[]

Gordon was born June 9, 1957 to Tammy and Leonard Gordon. Gordon grew up in the Mainline area of Philadelphia. She was trained from an early age to question everything, in a home and schools without rules. She graduated from the Miquon Upper School in 1975 and New York University in 1978 with a BA in Dramatic Literature, Comparative Religion and Experimental Psychology.^{[citation needed]} She was invited to apply to NYU by the Stella Adler Studio of Acting.

Gordon lived in London for 6 years after graduating from NYU, where she worked for Bernard Cornfeld and First Composers Company, owned by Freddy Bienstock. She frequented the members only nightclub, Tramp, where she met and dated celebrities and royalty including Robert De Niro, Mel Brooks, Ian La Frenais, Dodi Fayed and Gary Osborne.

Gordon worked for 15 years as a commercial real-estate broker in New York City and was later employed as a sales manager and corporate gifts coordinator for an Internet-based luxury goods purveyor LuxuryFinder.com. When the site shut down and she was laid off, she decided to go into the corporate gifts business on her own, setting up a company called WishBrokers.com.^[1] Soon after Gordon accidentally started designing jewelry, and found herself combining philosophy, perspective and art to create jewelry which would be worn for beauty, and cherished for the layers of discovery in the metaphorical pieces.
