COBBLESTONE : The ever-chic drop earring is reinvented for Caroline Ballou’s Cobblestone collection, which was inspired by the winding, narrow streets she discovered in the small Scottish village of Culross. The matte center plays against the polished edges in these easy-to-wear earrings that lie smoothly against the ear and have posts.
As a member of a family who owned one of Rhode Island's most important manufacturers of fine jewelry since 1886, Caroline seemed destined to follow into the family business. While she places her emphasis on the organic, Caroline also infuses her fine jewelry with a cross-cultural edge -- taking influences from around the globe and filtering them her own contemporary artistic vision.
