I’m Catherine, your personal jewelry curator and sparkle enthusiast, broadcasting straight from the Jersey Shore! When I’m not chasing my two littles—George (3) and Little Baby Catherine aka “LBC” (1)—I’m hunting for the perfect treasures to help you live your most glamorous, quiet luxury, coastal grandmother life.

Here’s our philosophy: why save them for special occasions when you can drip in both diamonds and water at the beach? Whether it’s a golden chain catching the sunlight or a ring that glimmers as much as the waves, I believe every beach babe deserves a little sparkle. Because let’s face it—pearls may be classic, but diamonds are forever iconic.

At Coastal Carats, I curate artisan and vintage solid gold jewelry made with genuine diamonds and gemstones. These aren’t just pretty pieces; they’re high-quality, heirloom-worthy treasures designed to outlast trends, toddlers, and tides. I’m especially passionate about making fine jewelry accessible, which is why I’ve embraced lab-grown diamonds—stunning, ethical, and shockingly affordable. Who says you can’t wear luxury every day?

For my fellow Jersey Shore locals, you’re in luck! Catch me at pop-up events around Monmouth and Ocean Counties, where you can shop curated boutique selections or try our permanent jewelry services—think custom-fit gold bracelets and anklets that stay put as you dance through life. Whether you’re here for a bonding bracelet moment or a statement piece for your next beach picnic, I promise there’s something sparkly waiting for you.

So go ahead, Coastal Queen, and make a splash with jewelry that’s as fun, timeless, and effortless as a breezy day by the shore. At Coastal Carats, it’s all about celebrating the everyday moments that deserve a little sparkle—and you deserve to shine.

With East Coast love and a little glitter,

Catherine
