Personalized Jewelry Selection: When making your purchase, you will be asked to choose the color(s) of your jewelry, and available color options are displayed at the bottom of each item's shopping page. This includes a wide array of color pallets (Carol's Color Combinations -ccc) as well as single colors, which make beautiful jewelry pieces too. You can also design your own color combinations and write your choices in the Optional Comments area on each ordering page. You are welcome to contact me (Contact Carol).

Swarovski Colors: I use genuine Swarovski crystal beads. If you have a piece of jewelry that you want to match, Swarovski colors are standard. If you don't see the color(s) that you want, please ask. I will be glad to check on availability and special order your request when possible. (I can also make a matching piece for other jewelry that you may have, not only Swarovski jewelry.)
Special Purchases: Special orders are welcome. I am happy to collaborate with you on designing jewelry. Let me know what you have in mind, and together we will take it from there. I also welcome wholesale orders of twenty or more pieces of the same item.
Personal Shopping Assistance: Not sure what you want? Are you overwhelmed by the choices? Do you have fabric or another piece of jewelry that you want to match? Please contact me. I would love to help you create exactly what you have in mind.

Not only Swarovski and Sterling
Gemstones: For many years I have limited my jewelry design to Swarovski crystal and sterling silver because they are such clean classic materials. When I discovered not too long ago that gemstones come in a matte finish, I couldn't believe what I saw!! I added them to my work, too, with some in glossy finishes). Their natural beauty is even further enhanced with tiny Swarovski crystal beads on either side. So subtle. I love the juxtaposition. If you don't see what you want, let me know, and I will try to locate it for you.
Other Beads: I am also starting to revisit the beads that I have amassed for twenty years to so. I really thought I had moved on from many of them, and I am now pleased that I kept them around.

Having grown up in his father's shop, where glass was cut by hand, Daniel Swarovski patented the first electric glass-cutting machine in 1892. Although the brilliance of Swarovski crystal was (and continues to be) undeniable, he did not try to pass off his creations as diamonds as some before him had [reference below].
These diamond-esque beauties allow everyone accessibility to exceptional shine. Carol H Designs combines them with Sterling silver in a myriad of styles, some with gemstone beads and some with exceptional other beads. Along with attention to detail, high quality materials and handwork speak for themselves. Integrity and artisanship. No shortcuts.
