Every piece begins with gratitude. So does every day.
Handcrafted pearl and enamel jewelry, made in small batches in Santa Barbara, California. So lightweight, you will forget you are wearing it. Until someone asks where you got it.
Why does jewelry matter?
Mine began with losing my hearing.
One morning I woke up and 90% of my hearing was gone.
I spent months focused on what I had lost. Then something shifted. I realized I could already lip read on the very day it happened. What a blessing I had been given, and I almost missed it entirely.
That moment taught me to look for what is right, not what is wrong. I started a daily gratitde practice. About a year later, I enrolled in a jewelry making class. When I was working on a piece, the constant noise in my head faded to the background.
That calm became Dawn Carlson Designs.
Every piece I create is a quiet reminder to notice the good in your life. Handcrafted with gratitude, worn with intention. Tested for comfort. Made for women who know they are worthy of treating themselves.

Small batch artisan jewelry
Understated elegance
I make all of my jewelry in my studio in California. I wear many hats, but my favorite is designing and making the jewelry.
