Inspired by the Lowcountry's beauty, I draw from 30 years of design experience into creating organic, sustainable jewelry. My passion for Charleston Chinaberry Jewelry comes from my deep love for the outdoors and a respect for the natural world. Each piece begins with hand-collected natural materials that carry their own story and design. I allow the materials to guide me in shaping designs that are earthy, organic and timeless in luxury. My process for curating the jewelry is rooted in simplicity  and the beauty of nature, transforming raw elements into wearable art. The result is jewelry that feels grounded, timeless, and connected to the earth. Each jewelry is elegant and is created to be timeless for years to come.

Born and raised in the heart of Charleston's Lowcountry, among the winding trees, swaying Spanish moss, and rhythms of the tides, I found inspiration in the natural beauty that surrounded me. Every detail of this region speaks to my heart. As the trees filled the air with their sweet spring scent, the smooth pods became little treasures in curious childhood hands. As children, we grew up around these trees—climbing them, collecting their berries, and breathing in the sweet scent of their blooms each spring.

Charleston Chinaberry was created from that deep connection and childhood wonder for the outdoors, which we now share through every piece of jewelry we create. Each piece is a tribute to the coastal waters, beaches, and trees that define the Lowcountry landscape. More than just jewelry, these are keepsakes of a place and time—handmade reminders of carefree days, deep family roots, and the stories only the Lowcountry can tell.

We create these pieces so you can carry that feeling, too—holding a little piece of Charleston close, wherever life takes you. Each piece, through handcrafted design and thoughtful detail, transforms the essence of Charleston into wearable art—custom pieces that capture the charm and serenity of the place I call home.
