This #MemberMonday, we celebrate Jewelsmith, a beloved custom jewelry design studio in Durham, NC, founded by Linda McGill in 1976. With a passion for artistry and ethics, Linda created a thriving team dedicated to exceptional craftsmanship and client satisfaction.

Jewelsmith specializes in custom jewelry and repurposing, ensuring each piece tells a unique story. Featured today are the stunning 18K recycled yellow gold Hinged Dangle Earrings, showcasing trillion green uvarovite Garnet Druzy (32.45 ctw.) and round yellow green demantoid Garnets (0.22 ctw.).
