At the tender age of 15, I started selling handmade jewelry alongside my grandmother’s cherished pieces at local flea markets.
It was more than just a hobby; it was where I discovered the magic of connecting with people through the art of jewelry.
Despite my deep love for jewelry, I pursued a degree in economics in Chicago, believing it was the sensible choice.
However, my heart never left the craft. It was a life-changing trip to Paris that reignited my passion.
The city’s artistic spirit, its streets lined with history and romance, overwhelmed me.
Paris was where I fell in love all over again—not just with the city but with the art of jewelry making.
Determined to delve deeper, I traveled across Europe, studying under master craftsmen who taught me the age-old techniques that now define my creations.
Returning to Chicago, life brought love and partnership in the form of my husband, and together, we embarked on building my dream.
At 27, with very little money and a lot of determination, I opened my first boutique in a quaint corner of Chicago.
Those early years were a rollercoaster of highs and lows.
Balancing the demands of a new business with family life, especially with my daughter Lisa, was challenging.
But with each challenge came a new opportunity to grow, to improve, and to create jewelry that touched people’s lives.
Today, Claire Jewelry is a haven for those who seek pieces with soul, crafted by hands that care deeply about every detail.
My designs blend traditional craftsmanship with contemporary aesthetics, each piece telling its own unique story.
We prioritize sustainability, using recycled metals and ethically sourced gems, ensuring our creations are not only beautiful but also kind to the Earth.
As the years passed, my small boutique transformed into a destination for jewelry lovers.
The word spread far beyond Chicago; some customers have traveled long distances to visit us, and we’ve been fortunate to be featured in local press.
It was humbling and exhilarating to see customers from distant towns, eager to experience the magic of our handcrafted pieces firsthand.
They came seeking more than just jewelry—they sought the stories, the craftsmanship, and the personal touch that each piece promised.
This incredible response fueled my passion further, inspiring me to continue creating jewelry that was worth the journey, no matter the distance.
