Our favorite jewelry is personal, special, infused with emotions and memories.
Making Art
Carrie creates original jewelry designs in silver and gold with colorful gemstones. Having studied jewelry fabrication, engraving, chasing and repoussé and exploring these techniques in her work, wax carving became her primary jewelry making technique. She carves wax models and casts them in house in small batches using traditional lost wax casting methods. Carrie is also exploring making small sculpture. Her work features playful wildlife and botanical themes. These finely detailed designs are a great gift for a gardener, nature lover, animal lover, art collector or even gifts for a bridal party.
Carrie, a native of Tennessee, now resides in Scottsdale, Arizona with her partner, lapidary artist Hugh Hadley. When not at her bench, she is often outdoors taking in the beauty of the Sonoran desert.
