Carolyn's Three Necklaces: Heirlooms Become Something New

June 4, 2026

It started as a conversation between friends about a green jade pendant Carolyn had from her aunt. Five years and three commissions later, her aunt's jade, her aunt's whiskey topaz, and a strand of pearls chosen from her late mother-in-law's collection are now necklaces Carolyn wears to weddings, concerts, and ordinary days. The studio's longest multi-generational heirloom-redesign arc.

Deb bought a statement necklace online from a designer she had never met. It arrived and it did not fit her petite frame. What happened next is the part most jewelry brands never show you: Andrea shortened it for free, no questions asked, no deadline.
