Who is Carolyn Roumeguere? What kind of jewelry does she design?

Carolyn Roumeguere is a couture jewelry designer who is known for her African-inspired pieces. She grew up in Kenya with the African Maasai tribe and has incorporated her African childhood past time of collecting rocks, beads, seeds and stones, into a full time business. Even as a child, she would sometimes take pieces of her collection and string them into necklaces or bracelets. Today she has moved from seeds and rocks to precious stones and metals. Although she still borrows from the Maasai jewelry-making traditions, she frequently mixes African materials and aesthetics with Indian gems and motifs. You will find her jewelry encrusted with diamonds, rubies, and emeralds as well as bone, ivory and glass.
