Jacey Warkentin is the designer behind Jacey Lynn Designs, a jewellery brand based out of Fredericton, New Brunswick. She is currently enrolled in her last semester of the Jewellery/Metal Arts program at the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design. She has thrived in her work there, and in her first year of the program, she received the One to Watch Award from Gallery 78 at the 2025 Sterling Exhibition (Fredericton, NB).

Originally from Manitoba, Jacey moved to New Brunswick to attend school and to pursue her lifelong dream of creating art that carries meaning. Despite not having any previous experience with making jewellery before starting school, Jacey has always been artistic in other mediums such as acrylic and watercolour painting, knitting and crocheting, and wood burning and card making.

In her jewellery designs, Jacey draws upon inspiration both from the organic forms of nature and the structural components of buildings and city skylines. She thrives on creating pieces that balance both those elements of soft lines and hard edges. Jacey is intrigued by the fact that jewellery designs are tiny items of wearable art that often have deep or symbolic meaning that a person can carry with them all day, just by wearing a piece. She is particularly interested in the significance of rings and the ability they have to commemorate seasons in one's life, not just engagements, and the ability they carry to speak words of hope, without (of course) saying anything at all. Alongside jewellery she hopes to create metal sculptures in the future that invite people into beauty, rest, and wonder.
