What are necklaces worn for?
Necklaces are primarily worn to enhance personal style, acting as a fashion accessory that complements outfits and highlights the neckline. Beyond fashion, they are used to express identity, symbolize wealth, social status, or cultural heritage, and hold sentimental value, such as religious, protective, or romantic significance.

MEET KARIN
Like all rewarding journeys, Karin Jamieson’s path to becoming an award-winning jewelry designer has included a detour or two.
After successful post-collegiate turns as a travel agent, and then as a financial advisor for a major investment firm, Karin decided to pursue her life-long interest in gemstones and enrolled in a course at the Gemological Institute of America.
Her passion and talent for working with rare stones was obvious, and she soon received an offer from Tiffany & Co. to take a position in sales and earn her GIA Graduate Gemologist®️ Certification.
Graduate Gemologist® Program (gia.edu). It was here that Karin began to build a roster of private clients for her own designs.
