About Harmony

Our Service Pledge To You:
My jewelry designs are unique; I individually handcraft each piece and thoroughly enjoy the process. To be true to myself, the creative process and my customers, I search for the best stones, materials and the right ideas; and I continually study and practice to improve my craftsmanship. My goal is to create jewelry you will love to wear and to give.

I will do my best to respond to all orders within 24 hours. If you have any questions or if you would like to discuss a special design idea please contact me. I look forward to hearing from you. Warmest regards, Carol Augustine

About Us

Featuring jewelry handcrafted from Bronze, Copper and Fine Silver Precious Metal Clay. Enhanced by sterling silver, 14 kt gold, pearls, semi-precious gemstones and lamp work beads, enamels and sometimes mixed media including found objects.



Carol creates unusual jewelry inspired by nature, and is best known for her floral and plant themed bangle and cuff bracelet. She also offers handcrafted artisan component jewelry pieces , such as beads and focal centerpieces, for other jewelry artisans to use in their jewelry creations.



Carol is currently working on sculptured fine art pieces crafted from fine silver, copper and bronze, which she plans to offer in the Fall.



Carol collects a variety of items to display in her home and garden, to inspire her, and for use in her studio classroom – items she sometimes offers for sale in her shop, such as antique buttons, architectural salvage, vintage and antique postcards, interesting found objects for collectors, artisans, scrapbookers, altered art enthusiasts. Items for you, your work, your home or your garden.

Carol is currently building a new studio in her home for working and teaching. She plans for the project to be completed by the end of the year. This is a fun and exciting project for her. It is a challenging endeavor, one that teaches her patience and that change is a natural part of the process. Creating a new space in a 100-year-old farm house is full of surprises and things rarely go as planned, but just like creating wearable art, the process starts, stops, and continually evolves. Visit Carol's Facebook page to see the work in progress.

Background

• Fine Art Studies, UNLV
  
• Rio Rewards Certified
  
• PMC Connection Certified
  
• Metal Clay Instructor – Miami Dade College
  
• Visiting Instructor – Studios of Key West
  

• I have been an artisan all of my life. From sewing to painting – to sculpting to jewelry making – if I can see it, touch it, manipulate it, take it apart, put it together, ‘feel it,’ or just think about it, I am driven to create something from it, with it, or about it. Working with my hands is almost a requirement for living, like breathing, I can’t seem to not do it.
  
• I own two Shih Tzu's, Meiko and Poppison (Poppi) Abigail, my sweet cat, and Pepper, my horse, a registered paint. I love them all, they bring joy to my life and best of all, they love me unconditionally.
  
• I have 15 acres of land in South Georgia, and my dream is to have an organic working farm, another work in process.
  
• I rarely do custom orders, it just doesn't work for me. I have found that once I 'have' to do something, it becomes tedious and forced, it stifles the natural flow of creativity that I so enjoy. So, you can ask, but please don't be disappointed if I say no.
  
• I thoroughly enjoy having a shop on Ruby Lane. I have been a member of the RL community for and plan to be here for as long as am selling 'something'. Yes, I could have my own stand alone website, but why, when I have everything I need here. Even though it can be a bit time consuming maintaining a shop, it is fun. The greatest pleasure it meeting new people but all around the world, they enrich my life and I hope to meet many more.

As much as I would like to post each and every comment I receive, I just can't. Because when I am on the computer I am not making or thinking about jewelry and art, and that makes me just a wee bit cranky. But know this, I appreciate each and every comment, and I save them all. They boost my confidence, inspire me, and keep me plugging along - dreaming, doodling and creating. Thank You!

• Just letting you know that the Koi necklace arrived with today's mail. I love it! I love it! Your photos of the piece, which were very nice, didn't do it justice. It is even more gorgeous in the hand. I've always been a fan of tourmalated quartz and the gradation of the quartz is so sharp looking. Even the silver pendant of the Koi is much more vibrant than the photos suggested. And I also want you to know that I did notice and very much appreciated how well packaged the necklace was. Thank you so much for such a beautiful work of art. A. from New Jersey
