OUR STORY
About Us
MEET GEENA
Handmade with love, inspired by the sea
Hi, I'm Geena Dykes — a self-taught jewelry designer and stay-at-home mom from Hebron, Maryland. I am the founder and sole artisan behind Taylor And Caroline, a handmade jewelry brand I have been building for over 11 years. I bring over 30 years of jewelry-making experience to every piece.
I've always been drawn to the ocean — the colors, the textures, the sense of calm it brings. Living near Ocean City and Salisbury, MD, that love is reflected in every piece I create. From iridescent abalone shells to peacock pearls and semiprecious gemstones, each piece is designed to carry a little piece of the sea with you.
I source only genuine materials: real abalone shell (paua shell from New Zealand), authentic freshwater and baroque pearls, natural semiprecious gemstones including labradorite, turquoise, aquamarine, and carnelian, and sterling silver findings. Every component is chosen for quality and beauty.
Taylor And Caroline is named after my son and my daughter, who inspire me daily. Every piece I make is crafted with the same care and attention I give to them.
