Creo means both ‘to make’ and ‘to believe’.
Creo Studio Jewelry offers handmade sterling silver and brass jewelry that celebrates metal and design. The work of Creo is created by me, Caroline Davis, and fueled by my background in architecture, large scale metal fabrication and sculpture.
Creo means both ‘to make’ and ‘to believe’ and captures the essence of my lifelong love of art and passion to create it.
Creo jewelry is bold, simple and unique. I strive to make jewelry that is both artistically beautiful and everyday wearable. The handmade quality of each piece means that no two will ever be alike.
Creo is located in Kingston, WA on the Kitsap Peninsula, a ferry ride from Seattle.
Hello! I’m Caroline, the artist behind Creo Studio Jewelry.
From a very young age, I was stealing my mother’s jewelry (thanks, Mom). I have always loved wearing jewelry. I have always loved design and making things. But as many things in life go, my path was somewhat circuitous. It took me 2 degrees and many years of working in various fields to finally discover jewelry making.
At 18, I wanted to be a painter. I reluctantly stumbled into the sculpture studio in my first year at college and fell (hard) in love with metal. I graduated with a degree in Fine Art with an emphasis in sculpture and began working under the wing of some great Seattle sculptors including Ted Jonsson, Trimpin & Lynda Rockwood. After working for several years in the Seattle arts industry as a public art fabricator, I decided to try my hand at architecture and received my Master of Architecture in 2010.
And that’s when it hit me. 2 degrees later. I wanted to make jewelry. Jewelry fabrication was the perfect marriage of my interests in metal, making and design. I enrolled in a class at Pratt Fine Arts Center in Seattle and I have been learning and making jewelry ever since.
Creo means both ‘to make’ and ‘to believe’. Creo Studio Jewelry was born of my passion for design and making
