This is A Story Inspired By A Little Girl Who Now Is Dreaming Big
It’s your story. Your self-expression. Your passion for life, spoken through beautiful accessories, carefully crafted and chosen to tell the world just a little bit about who you are and what you stand for.
For me, the story of my jewelry started when I was a little girl growing up in Rochester, New York in a home with Brazilian and Colombian heritage. I had a front row seat to the passion, vibrance, and energy that are the trademarks of Latin culture - love, laughter, bright colors, and big personalities.
A deep fascination for the arts and fashion was soon born. I wanted to be an actress. I wanted to inspire human connection through the power of storytelling.
As a little girl, I was amazed by the beauty behind self-expression. From ensuring I had the complete Jasmine costume for Halloween (especially the accessories) to putting together my own #OutfitOfTheDay with my mother’s closet, I have always found power in the ability for jewelry to express our story and chapter in the making.
I started Jessica Santander jewelry while working a full-time job in marketing. But my heart knew I needed to do what it was that I loved.
I have experienced rock-bottom and the feeling that reinvention or starting over were for “someone else” - not for me. And in one of those rock-bottom moments, I remembered what I was told as a little girl from my parents - “you can be anything you want to be in this world.” And I wanted to be a beacon of hope for women and girls who are reinventing themselves, taking back control of their lives and telling the next chapter from their point of view, not letting someone else narrate it.
Jessica Santander is a demi-fine jewelry brand designed for women becoming who they are meant to be. Each piece is thoughtfully handcrafted to turn everyday dressing into a moment of emotional alignment, self-expression, and quiet ambition.
