Spotted Dog Jewelry Design
|
Spotted Dog Jewelry Design was started in New York, New York in 2003 by Caroline Constantine
Rosen. Her attempt to keep up with style while working in the fashion industry led to a promising
business concept.
She originally created simple, but bold necklaces to add variety to a woman’s basic wardrobe, and to
help her constantly look current. As the compliments came pouring in, the blueprint of a company
started to take shape.
Each design started with the idea of individuality. Having had painting as her concentration for her
Studio Art Degree from Hobart and William Smith Colleges, she loved the idea of never creating the
same piece twice. Inspired by color, proportion and all things unanticipated, she looked to the things
around her to navigate her design path. From her summers on the beaches of Rhode Island, she
embraced the ideas of freshness, crisp balance and organic shapes. Her unique color sense and
attention to proportions comes from exploring with tubes of oil paint, taking queues from artists
ranging from Jackson Pollock to Andy Warhol and pouring over her collection of vintage fabrics.
With these thoughts in mind she set out to create interesting, wearable jewelry that had the wonderful
recognition of being “one of kind”.
She first introduced her Semi-Precious Collection, a compilation of distinctive necklaces created with
semi-precious stones, such as amethyst, citrine, coral, jade, quartz and turquoise, at a trunk show
which was a complete success and the green light to take on the business full time.
Her next two collections came shortly there after. She stumbled upon an old strand of Lucite beads at
a flea market and became completely enamored with the color, texture and history behind them.
From this the Vintage “Re-mix” Collection was born. Scouring the country she found great resources
for old vintage beads that she eagerly mixed with new Swarovski crystals and current findings to
create an updated spin on an old classic.
Serendipitously again, her next collection came together. While designing a commissioned necklace,
she began to look for materials that would come together to create a knockout conversation piece. The
idea of an abundant necklace woven of unique, gleaming, brightly colored freshwater pearls seemed
like the perfect option.
Now after 3 years and over 800 original pieces later, Spotted Dog Jewelry Design has decided to
branch out and start a wholesale division as well. She has taken her favorite design elements and
turned them into a glorious debut collection in 2007. This does not mean Caroline will stop creating
her handmade, one of kind works of art; that will never stop. Now, however, some of her pieces will
be more widely available to everyone looking to keep their own style current.
