Our Story
We CREATE jewelry that is inspired by vintage Styles. using natural, hand-carved gemstones & precious metals, We Hand create each unique Collection to reflect quirk, charm & creativity.
Carmen Hoffert is an artist from Lancaster, Pennsylvania. She began the journey of CARM.N as a celebration of Art and jewelry.
It all began when Carmen discovered the joy of stringing beads and gemstones as a little girl. She could lose herself in the delight of the colors and textures as she watched the designs she imagined take shape. The marriage of Art and jewelry began.
From those early days, CARM.N was seeded.
βArt and design are important in my world. Today I am many things: a mother, a friend, a partner, a Founder, a jewelry collector. Aspects of each experience are layered throughout the brand.β
We are a small team that is female founded and female led. We have a deep respect for the stones and the art of stone setting with fine materials.
Each hand carved stone is personally selected and each piece is hand-fabricated. Our Collections are not manufactured. Hand-fabrication is a process by which the piece is handcrafted individually with care to the uniqueness of the stone and the raw materials.
