ADORN by Mandy Carroll
Carved and cast bangle braces in 18k gold and sterling silver with black diamonds and rubies.
Mandy believes in the importance of beautiful things and the cultivation of beauty in our everyday lives. Creating jewelry that is intended to be treasured not only today, but for years to come, is her artistic expression of that experience. Drawing inspiration from the exquisite materials she works with, Mandy is ever searching for new and stunning combinations that, once realized as a finished work and placed on the body, will empower its wearer with a sense of beauty, strength and femininity.
Emphasizing the inherent beauty of each stone is her constant and she creates her work from what each stone reveals to her. Mandy hand selects each stone. And although more difficult to procure, she only sources natural stones that are conflict free by working with very few merchants- most she has worked with for over a decade. These carefully selected, natural "from the earth" gems are are often unique for their size, type and cut.
Mandy’s jewelry making career began over 20 years ago. It has extended from Philadelphia where she graduated from the University of the Arts with a BFA in Craft/Metals, to NYC where she worked in production at Tenthousandthings, and finally to Essex, CT where she opened her own Studio. In 2009 she launched her collection of limited edition and one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces, under the name leiva.
In 2020, Mandy re-branded as Adorn.
