About Lab Partners Jewelry

Hi, we’re the Lab Partners — JD Shipengrover and JD Davison. We design and make everything you’ll find at Lab Partners Jewelry. Firstly, no, we’ve never been actual lab partners, but we did meet in college many years ago. (If we had been, we no doubt would have done better in chemistry.) Secondly, the company name Lab Partners, was a bit of a joke. The story goes that one evening JD Davison was in the studio, and he had a bunch of various experiments running. He had some chemical etching baths going, one of the 3-D printers was whirring away, the CO2 laser cutter was zapping something, and several other projects scattered about in various stages of chaos. When JD Shipengrover looked up from what she was working on, she said, “This isn’t an art studio it’s a science lab.” And the idea of Lab Partners grew from there. We truly are partners. We design, make and produce all of our jewelry pieces together. All of our jewelry is a combination of art, science and technology. Our current collections take patterns from nature. We have collections that include starfish, sea plants, sea life and desert plants. Each collection is named for its source pattern. The truth is - we’re both super geeks. We love art, we love science, and we love new technology. So we brought our passions together into our jewelry. Some of our work is art focused, some is science-centric, some of it is simply experimenting with a new toy/technology and most of it is some combination of the three.Read their story
