About Karen

You can find Dwyer Design Gemstone Artistry at numerous exhibitions throughout the Southeast.

Please, stop by and say hello. I look forward to meeting you.

Karen’s unique designs are edgy, yet dainty, and when her modern sensibility and continuous evolution are combined with new inspirations and her own powerful vision, the resulting jewelry is unlike anything else. Inspired by the natural beauty and intricacies of the gems themselves, Karen’s work is a genius blend of natural, semi-precious stones and subtly detailed, rich metals. Using textured, hammered, and hand-forged materials as varied as gold, silver, brass, copper, and aluminum, her jewelry achieves a union between inspiration and functionality that remains unmatched in the marketplace.
