Carol Penn creates jewelry using exotic and organic materials including freshwater pearls, hand cut gemstones and minerals, petrified wood, fossils, shell, bone, diamonds, leather and mixed metals. Each piece in her collection is custom designed and handmade in her Texas Hill Country studio. She works closely with a local lapidary to identify, cut and polish the stones that become the centerpieces of her designs. Taking her cues from nature’s amazing landscapes, she combines interesting colors and textures to create her unique, one of a kind pieces of “wearable art”.
