Di Folco Fine Jewels was created from a deep appreciation for jewelry with history—pieces that have been worn, lived in, and carry stories long before they are discovered again.

I curate antique, vintage, and contemporary estate jewelry for collectors who are drawn to craftsmanship, character, and a sense of connection. Alongside this, I offer bespoke design services, creating one-of-a-kind pieces and engagement rings that feel just as meaningful as the heirlooms that inspire them.

What began as a personal passion has become a carefully considered practice. I search estates and collections worldwide for pieces that evoke something lasting—jewelry that may have been overlooked, hidden beneath time, or simply waiting to be seen again. Each piece that comes into my hands is thoughtfully evaluated, gently restored when needed, and prepared to be worn and enjoyed with ease.

Every acquisition is intentional. I am drawn to pieces that spark a connection—those that feel distinctive, storied, and worthy of becoming part of someone’s life again. In some cases, that means preserving a piece as it is; in others, it means reimagining it through subtle, thoughtful transformation.

My hope is that each client experiences that same moment I do—the one where a piece simply feels right. The beginning of something that will be worn often, treasured deeply, and one day passed on.

Each piece is carefully prepared before it leaves my hands, wrapped and presented with the same care in which it was selected—ready to be worn, collected, and cherished.

About Jennifer Di Folco

Jennifer’s love for jewelry began long before Di Folco Fine Jewels—it began with anticipation.

As a child, she would wait for her Nonno and Nonna to return from their trips to Italy, knowing they would bring back a small, carefully chosen piece of jewelry just for her. What followed became a ritual she would never forget: opening velvet pouches filled with gold and gemstones, each piece carrying a sense of wonder, history, and something just out of reach of full understanding. It was in those moments that her fascination began—not just with the beauty of jewelry, but with the stories each piece held.

That early curiosity never left. It deepened over time, evolving into a lifelong passion for collecting, studying, and understanding jewelry as both art and artifact.

Jennifer’s background in language and culture continues to shape the way she approaches her work. She holds undergraduate degrees in Italian and Spanish Language & Literature from the University of Maryland, College Park, and spent time living and studying in Italy, where she immersed herself in the world of jewelry firsthand—learning from artisans in Rome, Florence, and beyond, and forming lasting relationships with jewelers throughout the country.

Her path has been anything but singular—spanning education, publishing, real estate, and fine jewelry sales—but each experience has contributed to a perspective that is both intuitive and deeply informed. With over three decades as a collector, and a particular affinity for antique jewelry and old cut diamonds, she approaches each piece with a trained eye and a genuine sense of curiosity.

For Jennifer, jewelry is more than adornment—it is a reflection of identity, history, and personal expression. She is especially drawn to pieces that invite a second life: objects that can be restored, reimagined, and worn again in a way that feels both meaningful and new.

Through Di Folco Fine Jewels, she brings that passion forward—sharing pieces with history, creating new ones with intention, and helping her clients discover jewelry that resonates on a deeper level.
