I have been designing jewelry for more than twenty years, most of them in New York City. I started at Kenneth Cole New York, became head designer of Emporio Armani jewelry across the women's and men's divisions, designed for Fossil, and then launched and led the Michael Kors jewelry division as head designer.

Camille Jewelry is where all of that experience lives now. I design demi fine and fine jewelry made to move with you rather than wait in a jewelry box, and I still design every piece myself.

How Jewelry Found Me

I studied fashion design at the Fashion Institute of Technology and planned on a career designing women's clothing. Jewelry found me a few years after graduation, and it became my life's work.

Those years at global fashion brands taught me how jewelry really gets made: how metals behave, how a chain is constructed, and which details hold up after a year of daily wear. They also showed me a gap between how jewelry was marketed and how women actually wear it. I wanted to design pieces you reach for every morning, personal and easy to wear, not precious or reserved for someday.

Why I Started Camille Jewelry

After my second son was born, I stepped away from corporate design. In 2017 I launched Camille Jewelry with the Phoenix Collection, inspired by the phoenix and its story of rebirth and new beginnings. It felt like the right way to begin my own chapter.

The brand started in luxury fashion jewelry and has grown into demi fine and fine jewelry. Gold filled, vermeil, and sterling silver pieces are made for everyday layering, and solid 14K gold with diamonds and genuine gemstones is for the pieces you keep forever.

Choose Well, Wear Often

Every design begins with one question: how will this live on someone? That question decides the weight of a chain, the size of a hoop, and how a necklace sits beside the ones you already own. The goal is a jewelry wardrobe built slowly, where every piece earns its place and actually gets worn.

Designed in New York City and Philadelphia

Today I design in both New York City and Philadelphia, two cities that shape everything about how I work. Camille Jewelry is woman owned and has grown through relationships, word of mouth, and customers who keep coming back.

The work has been featured in Philadelphia Style, 201 Magazine, and NJ Digest, and worn in editorials for Harper's Bazaar and ELLE. You can see it all on our Press page.

If you are new to the brand, Best Sellers is the easiest place to start. Build Your Charm lets you create a piece that is entirely your own, and Designer Gift Picks gathers my favorites for giving.
