Tutera’s jewelry is a fascinating blend of the architectural and the organic. She often incorporates temporal elements that dance in free motion. Basing design on her clients’ requests, she brings precious metals and exquisitely cut gems together with a unique artistic sensitivity. Whether I’ve asked for a whimsical pair of earrings or a one-of-a-kind statement piece, I am always delighted with my Tutera jewels.

Scott and I have received our rings and they are beautiful! They are so much more than I had imagined them to be. You have created a lasting momento of Scott’s and my relationship. The care and concern of your creativity is evident in the way all the different design elements were put together to create something extraordinarily beautiful. We are forever grateful for everything you did for us.

Carol is simply a miracle worker. When I bring her two unwearable bracelets she turns them into one beautiful (and wearable) piece. When I come to her with a vague idea for a piece she’s sketched exactly what I want before I finish fumbling through my explanation, and the end result is always gorgeous. When I want a gift for my daughter or mother she comes up with the perfect design for them–and they have very different tastes. And when I presented her with a shoulder patch from my father’s Marine Corps uniform, three weeks later I had a beautiful enamel replica in my hand.

Recently my daughter and I were window shopping at an exclusive jewelery store. There were some lovely items, but she turned to me and said what I was thinking–the designs were pretty but nothing compares to Carol’s designs and craftsmanship.

I think one of the most important talents a jewelry designer must have is the versatility to produce a ring based on something very, very old as well as to create a totally contemporary ring. The gold wedding band belonging to my great, great, great grandmother was so worn the design was almost invisible. Your duplication of the shadow is very precious and I can now wear it proudly. On the other hand, I love the modern ring you created on a yellow gold base over which you superimposed a white gold layer intricately carved, all crowned by a cabochon garnet – very today and tomorrow! Thank you.

Carol is unique in that she worked with me to help draw out my ideas and make them into a reality. She got to know me and my wife which allowed her to design pieces that fit both our personality and lifestyle. The craftsmanship of the settings and quality of the stones is incredible and will remaining looking so for a long time. I buy all of the “big” stuff for my wife from Carol and my wife has loved every single piece.
