Confetti began as a retail art project in 2016 by visual artist, Jeremiah Jordan in Philadelphia. Guided by curiosity and intuition, he began shaping excess wood into tiny pendents that would later evolve into the earrings that are made today. He now produces a variety of carefully crafted earrings using traditional power tools, a variety of materials and digital design.

“I believe that from conception all the way to construction, there is value in carefully creating one of a kind pieces in limited batches. I journey to take my vision further by combing fine craftsmanship and recycled materials to create unique pieces that complement many diverse lifestyles.”
