Goldhenn Jewelry

Meaghan Hennely began my career in 2000 apprenticing at a high-end jewelry atelier in Santa Fe, New Mexico after obtaining my BFA in Jewelry Design & Metalsmithing from the University of Michigan. My experience sitting at the bench was followed by years of designing private label collections from trend to fashion, which included traveling the world sourcing materials and being the liaison between the factory and the retailers. I discovered my passion for gems and jewelry was not only to create beautiful pieces but also to source consciously, to create relationships with & sustainability for my vendors, my clients and myself. This led me to take the leap of faith and found Goldhenn in 2012, a platform that aligned these principles and allows my creativity and business acumen to flourish. I handpick each component designing around the materials and stones, as opposed to cutting them to fit into an existing model. This not only enhances the character of the materials, it echoes the philosophy behind Goldhenn. When you wear a piece of Goldhenn you will know it is as unique as you are. We are all perfectly imperfect. We are all unique. There is grace in accepting flaws, the acceptance will teach & transform. You’re GOLDHENN.

Beth Macri Jewelry

Creator of the iconic Hidden Message. The Hidden Message Pendants were first designed in 2012. These pendants are the brainchild of Beth Macri, a Structural Engineer. 
Just like an I-beam used in architecture, the form follows the function
A few pendants were created and the concept was an instant hit to friends and family. So we did a little digging, not only was it a fun concept (hidden custom jewelry), it was unusual. Unusual enough to get a design patent! We knew we had something worth sharing.
The pendants have been through a few design iterations as we perfect the concept. Our most recent update is for all those adding memories to their lives or additions to their families. The pendants can now be easily added (and removed) from the "stringer" chain. We are so excited to see what you create over time!

Lauren Chisholm Fine Art Jewelry

The road that led me to jewelry design stems from both a young girls facination watching my Grandfather work- a fine jeweler himself and my calling as an artist. My professional career as a fine artist has spanned a quarter of a century, starting in Interior Design, then developing to include restoration of antique gilded treasures and fine furniture painting.  It is here that I cultivated an admiration and understanding of attention to detail.. 

I specialize in custom design and execution of mural and trompe l'oeil paintings in private estates, and my artwork continues to be exhibited in designer showcases.

Hi June Parker Fine Jewelry
Luxitune

I have fond memories of drawing and creating as a young girl, whether it was a watercolor painting, endless scribbles on my school notebooks, or making jewelry from little flowers in our backyard. My love for jewelry is deeply rooted in my upbringing. I used to watch my mum getting ready to go out and listen to her thoughtfully explain to me detailed stories behind each of her jewelry pieces that she liked to wear. These moments became special bonding moments for us, and eventually become a great tool for communicating with each other deepening our relationship as she has become an influential part of my creative journey. After completing art school, I spent 15 years designing and making jewelry for fashion brands, designers and major department stores such as Temple St. Clair, Juicy Couture, Macys and Lord and Taylor where I gained valuable experience designing jewelry for numerous styles and aesthetics with different budgets. After launching Luxitune in 2014, a line of luxury accessories for stringed instruments Violin, Viola and Cello, I launched my own fine jewelry brand in 2016 using recycled gold and silver to offer fine jewelry suited for women that wish to connect on a personal level with the jewelry they buy as collectors to pass down to their loved ones as their own personal legacies.
