Litany Jewelry Designs Gives Back to the Community

How one local jewelry designer is giving back to the community.

Not only will you feel beautiful wearing Jen Westmoreland Bouchard’s necklaces, bracelets and earrings, but you can also feel good about the fact that you’re helping out your neighbors. Last year, Bouchard donated 20 percent of the profits from her company, Litany Jewelry Designs, to local nonprofits, and this year she’s on track to do the same. “I continue to be inspired by my late grandmother, who instilled in me a love of travel and jewels, and a commitment to helping others,” Bouchard says.  The lake-area artist sells her one-of-a-kind pieces—which she describes as historical adornments with a cosmopolitan flair—at eight boutiques in the metro area including Maha! in Wayzata and Meridian in Excelsior and participates in regular trunk shows at Bella on the Bay in Excelsior.
