I am the co-founder of Stonington Designs, where my husband and I have turned our 35+ years of art and woodworking into a jewelry studio based in Stonington, Connecticut. Every piece we create carries a story—of craftsmanship, purpose, and quiet strength. Our signature wood bracelets are made from reclaimed hardwoods and handwoven by spouses of deployed servicemen. It’s jewelry designed with intention: to honor the hands that make it, the earth that provides it, and the individuals who wear it with confidence.

We saved scraps from our woodworking for years until I took a bracelet weaving class and found a way to use them: making the components in our studio and weaving them into jewelry for our luxury brand.
