Welcome to Local Summer Jewelry, inspired by the long warm days when summer's hustle slows down. My collections reflect my love of the water and my home on the Carolina coast.

I created a jewelry line that keeps that long live summer spirit alive while you wear it. Just as you'd prefer in the season, my necklaces are lightweight and comfortable, easily worn together yet look beautiful on their own. 

Each piece is handmade using our signature vintage freshwater rice pearls, 14k-18k gold-filled or vermeil pendants, and layerable chains, as well as natural elements and treasures that evoke

the beauty of our summer days beside the ocean.

If you have ever spent time in Wilmington, NC, you'll appreciate the designer card that comes in each soft jewelry pouch. I use a different photograph of our beaches for each season and collection.
