Founded in May 2022 by Rene Barnes, her eponymous fine jewelry brand is rooted in Charleston, South Carolina, and crafted in New York City. Drawing on her background in studio art and sculpture, Barnes brings a distinctive, artisanal approach to fine jewelry. The brand is defined by its use of the ancient "lost wax casting" technique, where Barnes meticulously hand-carves each design in wax before casting it in solid 14k gold. This process imparts a signature, irreplicable texture to the metal that is designed to grow more beautiful with wear.
