A Story of Love & Luxe
From a very early age I have always loved jewelry. Growing up in Upstate New York, I would pick dandelions in the back yard, mix them with woodland floral and weave them into bracelets. My love of shiny, pretty things came a bit later on.
After studying jewelry design at New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology, wanderlust took hold and I ventured off to dive on shipwrecks in search of buried treasure. Searching out ancient gold coins from sunken Spanish Galleons that were as shiny and wildly golden as the day they had gone down became a passion of mine.
Each coin was unique and had a story to tell. On the front was the coat of arms of the person that owned it and on the other was the Kings stamp. My obsession with ornate golden heirlooms had begun.
From there I settled in France for a spell where I fell in love with the romantic beauty that is Paris. After getting engaged on the steps of Versailles, my husband-to-be not only asked me to marry him, but to make my own engagement ring. This was the beginning of Rough Luxe and in helping couples find the ring of their dreams.
