My guest this week is Jennifer Rutheny who is a jewelry designer, sculptor and entrepreneur. Her luxury boutiques can be found in both Tarrytown, New York and Manhattan. Delightful flowers, adorable animals, breathtaking gemstones and daring prints; her stunning pieces capture the beauty of the natural world. Recently she has added fauna wall art to her impressive array of creations. Lindblad Expeditions and National Geographic have commissioned her to design jewelry for boutiques on cruise ships. On the Galapagos Islands, Jennifer embarked on an exciting adventure, teaching jewelers how to make jewelry from recycled materials. When you enter her elegantly rustic shops, you will be transported into a world of organic splendor. There is also a very good chance you will be greeted by an outgoing silver Labrador retriever named Theo (short for Thelonious Monk ). Jennifer's adorable pet and store mascot just happens to be a YouTube celebrity! He's the star of "Think Theo Think," which has an astronomical number of views. I am overjoyed to have this the ambitious, intelligent, kind-hearted and extraordinarily gifted guest on my podcast this week!
