Artist Statement
“I have been designing jewelry since I was a young girl. At first
I raided my mother’s jewelry box, then my grandmother’s button
jar, which produced all kinds of funky and hip earrings. It was fun to
play with color and composition. The combinations were endless and a masterpiece
was always in the making.
My passion of designing fine jewelry began to grow even stronger once
I discovered the incredible beauty of pearls. There is something mystical
about the lustrous glow of a fine pearl that has enchanted and romanced
man throughout history. I was enchanted and totally consumed. I loved
the colors, shapes and all the possibilities they represented.
After completing classes at a local art school and the GIA, I was finally
able to truly design the fine quality, expertly crafted, pearl and gemstone
jewelry that you see today. My designs are a gift of Mother Nature. No
two are ever exactly alike. Each design is made with great attention to
detail and the highest quality construction, with the finest quality findings,
pearls and gemstones available today.”

Carolyn’s interest in design began as a young child when she participated as one of the Old Sturbridge Village children playing Early American games on the Common, carding wool, spinning, weaving and other crafts and art forms of that era.
As an adolescent, her design interests expanded to fashion design and interior decorating. Carolyn attended school for Fashion Design and later worked for an Interior Designer before the birth of her first daughter.
With a grown family and creative time available, it was a natural progression to combine these loves with a passion for the beauty of gemstones and pearls.

pearl and gemstone jewelry since then. Her designs incorporate unique
and difficult to find pearls and gemstones. All of her creations are made
