CarolineHager

A New York-born jewelry artist raised across multiple countries and cultures. A childhood in constant motion, never more than four years in one place, drew her toward the enduring language of traditional adornment. Trained at jewelry studios in New York City and Dublin, and with a background in classical studies, she brought a historian's eye to the craft before pursuing it formally at RISD, where she majors in Jewelry and Metalsmithing. Her work is driven by a belief that jewelry is one of the most intimate forms of self-expression in which objects made to be worn on the body, passed down through generations, and charged with personal meaning.
