My name is Kara Kuehl, and I am an Oregon native. I have recently moved from my home town of Lake Oswego and am currently enjoying life in the Columbia River Gorge and am constantly in awe of its beauty.

I have been in the wine industry for most of my career - but have always loved to make jewelry in my off time. And have been doing so for over 20 years. I have always been a very visual person who has sought inspiration from my surroundings and appreciation for fashion. Jewelry-making has been my way of expressing my artistic style through design and creating wearable works of art. I love how wearing jewelry displays an unspoken statement that can reveal an intriguing uniqueness of an individual. I feel very blessed to be making jewelry full time now. Being able to provide that enhancing touch of beauty and flair to a person’s look brings me joy!
