About Karen

A Lifetime Spent Polishing Perfection

For over two decades, Karen has been Wanatah's go-to jeweler — not because of fancy displays, but because of the quiet confidence that comes from genuinely caring about every piece she touches.

Her studio on South Indiana Street is where community members bring their most meaningful possessions: an engagement ring to redesign, a grandmother's necklace to restore, a vision for something entirely new. Each project receives the same attention to detail, whether it's a simple cleaning or a bespoke commission.

Trusted by Our Community

The relationships we build are the real measure of our work — hear from the people who've worn our craft.

"Karen helped me design an engagement ring that perfectly captured what my fiancée loves. The whole process felt personal — not transactional. She's now wearing it every day and gets compliments constantly."

Michael T.

"I brought in my mother's broken brooch — I thought it was beyond saving. Karen restored it beautifully. It looks as good as the day she received it. I'm so grateful she's still in Wanatah."

Susan R.
