the journey

Tres J came to life in 2023 with one goal in mind: sparking newfound relationships and community in an ever-changing world while challenging what luxury means to the consumer.  

Tres J ( “three Js” in Spanish and “very J” in French) was named by the founder as a tribute to the personal nicknames given to her by close friends. 

Founder, Jess Jan, originally from Texas began her career in fashion at Moda Operandi seeing her move from New York City to Hong Kong, and continued her career with NET-A-PORTER & MR PORTER. Inspired by the people and the places, she set out to design a line inspired by her own life and her own hand-sourced vintage gold and pearl chain necklace. The piece was created with the materials she sourced from an antique market, seven years earlier. 

Working together with a craftsman in Hong Kong, the founder has designed a signature initial necklace line, The OG chain, inspired by her own 'j' necklace with the wish of sharing those same feelings of self-confidence and empowerment that she feels, whenever she puts it on and whenever someone would comment on it - striking up a conversation and connection.

When creating Tres J, she wanted to rewrite what luxury means be redefining expectations and reimagining timeless and contemporary standards. Tres J pieces not only spark joy and confidence in each wearer, but also help shape new-luxury through community building and impactful conversations. 

No matter where you are in the world, a Tres J necklace reminds you the essential link you play in your community and the world around you. You'll feel empowered to live life with a greater sense of confidence and purpose when you #DiscoverTheChainEffect.
