Carolina Cole

Accessories – Chicago

Welcome to my studio... Stepping into Carolina’s studio will take you into a space full of interesting details, pride in fine craftsmanship and a focused design identity. Carolina is a master goldsmith, glassmaker and a badass knitter. Carolina makes every aspect of her jewelry; the fused glass, the knitted metal or leather sections, each setting and lock included in her namesake designs. At any given time you\'ll will find pearls, gems, fused glass, chain maille and tools on the bench. If she\'s in the studio, her torch is always on. Directly in front of her workspace, an inspiration wall is covered with family photos and of interesting places she\'s been. In a separate studio, Carolina has her glass kilns and her library of glass which she fuses into the specific colors that she uses in the collection. She prefers transparent and iridescent colors because of the light bending capabilities Carolina finds alluring. Guided by a true passion for her craft, Carolina’s work ranges widely from simple, classic pieces to extremely labor-intensive, complex works of wearable art. Visitors are impressed in her ability to transform abstract ideas into stunning and incredibly personal pieces of jewelry. Carolina derives great pleasure and satisfaction in collaborating with clients. She’s happy to create something just for you.
