Carmen Q Hinckle is a Bay Area artist whose jewelry fuses elegance with everyday wearability.

As a graduate of California College of the Arts, Carmen studied metal design, drawing, and sculpture.

In her studio in Mill Valley, California, she hand-forms each original piece using traditional goldsmithing techniques. She also designs furniture, lighting, and architectural elements. Carmen's designs can be interpreted as landscapes in metal, with a richness and depth inspired by nature.

Her intention is to "offer jewelry that encourages each individual to express their creativity through the ancient tradition of adornment."
