Growing up in a large family of talented musicians and artists,  Caroline Pate Polansky has always had a fascination with all things handcrafted.  She began making  jewelry in anticipation of her ninth birthday when she was allowed to get her ears pierced, and ever since has had an elaborate crafts project in the works.

After graduating college she lived in various places working odd jobs- always passionate about making jewelry in her spare time.  In 2005, she launched Caroline Pate Jewelry and began selling her wares at a designer's co-op in New York City.  After moving back to her home state of Tennessee, her business continues to evolve and expand.

Caroline Pate Jewelry is inspired by the profound shapes and beauty of nature.  With precious metals, precious and semi-precious stones, her work is characterized by organic forms and color palettes.  It is never out of place.  Each piece is handcrafted for you by the designer.
