Meet Rose Connolly
Artist and jewelry designer Rose Connolly has been creating jewelry since her childhood in Hilton Head Island, SC. After selling specialty jewelry at The Back Door in Hilton Head, Rose graduated with a Fine Arts degree from the University of the South in Sewanee TN. Rose then moved to Nashville in 1994 to work for nationally celebrated local jewelry designer Margaret Ellis. During her invaluable fifteen years as a production worker at the Margaret Ellis Studio, Rose learned to express and execute a wide range of styles for customers of varying tastes. This unique and creative environment also gave Rose time to perfect her soldering and hammering techniques and to develop her own artistic form of expression.
After leaving the Margaret Ellis family to marry and start a family of her own in 2010, Rose is very excited to actualize her vision and produce the pieces she has always wanted to make and wear.
Rose Connolly Jewelry is handcrafted from beginning to end with fine metals and semi-precious stones. While detailed and textured her work is simple, timeless and always wearable. Rose also enjoys designing custom pieces for the customer who just can't find that piece they have always been looking for.
"Satisfied customers and long term creative relationships are an important part of what I want to achieve with my art. To have my creations worn by someone is very personal and quite an honor."
