Jennifer Chaitt
Jennifer grew up in Tempe, Arizona, and earned her bachelor's degree in engineering from the University of San Diego. After several years of working as an engineer and project manager to develop new aircraft, she decided to pursue her passion for designing jewelry.
By combining her eye for artistry, understanding of material properties, engineering design skills, and knowledge of manufacturing, she creates jewelry that attractive and robust to handling and the environment.
Jennifer now resides in San Diego with her dog Tucker who sits by her side while she designs and waits patiently for his walks.
"I design jewelry to help women shine a little brighter.
Unable to find classic styles with the modern touch I was looking for, I took matters into my own hands. I drew on my background in engineering and began designing jewelry using Computer Aided Design (CAD).
Using engineering principles, I am able to optimize stone angles for maximum sparkle, protect delicate elements that would otherwise be prone to damage, and analyze each piece for balance and wearability."

Carl Vidal
Carl Vidal captures the spirit of New Mexico through a fusion of photography, artistry, and technology. Born in Gallup and raised in Albuquerque, Carl brings a deeply personal connection to the landscapes he creates, from the iconic Sandia Mountains to the quiet beauty of the Rio Grande Bosque.
With a background in marketing from the University of New Mexico and a respected presence in the local real estate and short-term rental community, Carl approaches photography with both creative vision and strategic precision. Each piece is more than a photograph, it is a carefully constructed composition, often built from dozens of images and refined over 100+ hours to achieve exceptional detail, depth, and atmosphere.
Blending traditional photography with modern techniques, Carl’s work transforms familiar Southwest landscapes into immersive, emotionally resonant art. His compositions are designed not only to capture a place, but to elevate it, creating timeless pieces that feel both real and reimagined.
His collection is a celebration of New Mexico’s light, culture, and identity, crafted for those who want to bring a meaningful and visually striking connection to the Southwest into their space.
