In the early 1950s Ferdi Jansen studied sculpture in Paris with Ossip Zadkine and took welding lessons from Shinkichi Tajiri, her future husband. Her insect-inspired sculptural jewelry which she created from iron and glass in the mid-1950s in Paris attracted the attention of American collectors and was also sought after in Japan.
