About This Savage Mill Business
J’Adorn Designs is the jewelry design studio of artist, jeweler, and metalsmith Alison Jefferies, who discovered her passion for personalized accessories while planning her own wedding in 2011. Dissatisfied with the jewelry offerings she found at bridal shops, she opted to make a set of matching jewelry for her bridesmaids instead. Just a few months later, Alison opened an online shop to sell her designs.
Since its founding in 2012, J’Adorn Designs has grown into a full-service jeweler specializing in delicate jewelry and hair accessories using colorful gemstones and often featuring botanical forms. We offer a full line of ready-to-wear jewelry and hair accessories as well as custom and bespoke designs. Recently we have expanded our line beyond women’s jewelry to include masculine and gender-inclusive pieces. J’Adorn Designs is an affirming and welcoming business for people from all walks of life, and designer Alison Jefferies considers it an honor to create wearable pieces that honor each individual story.
Our studio at Savage Mill is open by appointment only. You can shop our collections or submit a custom inquiry online 24/7 via our website.

What a beautiful night at Savage Mill ✨
Last night’s opening of Threads of Heritage, the exhibition curated by Leona`s Sewing Studio, was filled with connection, conversation, and powerful storytelling through fabric and design. Seeing our community come together to experience these works was truly special.
A heartfelt thank you to @hocogovexec, @councilwomancmr, and @howardcountyeda Jennifer Jones for joining us and for sharing such meaningful words as we opened this exhibition together.
Threads of Heritage will be on view through April 3, and we invite you to come back, take your time with the installation, and experience it again. While you’re here, be sure to take part in our Community Quilt and add your own piece to this growing collective work.
We are so grateful to everyone who joined us and helped make the opening night so memorable.
