About Carolyn Keys

Carolyn Keys is a line of handmade modern jewelry for fierce, spirited women. This jewelry is not dainty or reserved - it’s bold and empowering. When you wear your Carolyn Keys art, you’ll feel all the confidence needed to conquer the challenges of the day…and you’ll look amazing all the while. Carolyn strives to create distinctive, paired-down designs that transcend trends and amplify your individual style. Each piece is constructed with care using traditional techniques that are evident in the hand wrought finishes that feel right at home from the first wear. Growing up surrounded by the verdant woodlands of eastern Pennsylvania, Carolyn developed a lifelong love of the natural world, which comes through strongly in her work. This, paired with an urban edginess she gained though extensive travels abroad and 10 years of city living, is what defines the Carolyn Keys aesthetic. Carolyn has a strict no-computer ethos when it comes to the design and making of her work. She wants the human hand to be present from start to finish, so this means each piece has a life and spirit of its own. Each design is tried and tested to ensure its wearability and comfort. She believes that even big bold pieces should be easy to wear. All jewelry is designed and made by Carolyn in her studio in eastern Pennsylvania. Materials include 14K gold fill, sterling silver, brass, wood and ceramic. Recycled and repurposed materials are used whenever possible. Read their story
