The Caronie Huggie: A Collaboration of Artistry and Friendship
Caron models her new huggie earring in blackened sterling silver, 18 k yellow gold and round diamonds
In a world often defined by trends and mass production, a husband-and-wife , gregore and jennifer, jewelry design team stands apart—modest in demeanor but exceptional in skill, creativity, and craftsmanship. Known for their ability to translate a client’s personality into wearable art, they bring together technical mastery and intuitive design to create pieces that feel deeply personal.
The three round diamonds that dangle off the bottom of the earring were Caron’s inspired idea.
Recently, they collaborated with their friend and longtime customer, Caron, an artist and designer known for her originality and larger-than-life spirit. Caron, who devotes her time to volunteering at a horse ranch that serves people with special needs and veterans, embodies creativity and compassion in all that she does. When she approached the jewelers with a pair of diamond hoops she didn’t love—standard pieces that didn’t reflect her unique essence—they saw an opportunity to create something extraordinary.

The result was the Caronie Huggie, a pair of diamond earrings that capture Caron’s individuality. During their design consultations at the ranch, surrounded by the beauty of nature and Caron’s care for others, the idea took shape. Caron contributed the signature detail of the design—the playful round diamond settings that dangle delicately from the hoops—and the earrings’ name. Gregore lent his expertise in CAD design and technical precision, shaping the hoops with perfect proportions and functionality.
His wife, a skilled jeweler and artist in her own right, brought the design to life through her meticulous craftsmanship. She assembled the cast parts, set each diamond with precision, and applied a distinctive blackened finish that gives the earrings their depth and character. The earrings’ surface, adorned with scattered circles of diamonds, echoes Caron’s love of polka dots, a motif she uses in her own line of fashion accessories at caronmiller.com. The result is a piece that reflects not only Caron’s style but also the creative harmony between client and craftspeople.
Each piece from this team is presented in a handmade box—crafted with fine papers, flocked inserts, and magnetized lids—underscoring their dedication to thoughtful design from start to finish. Their work is a testament to what’s possible when artistry meets purpose.
The custom box is made in house with specialty paper and a brass logo
