About This Expert

Joan’s designs blend tradition with a contemporary aesthetic. References to nature and classical forms come alive with a freshness created through scale, balance, color and movement.

Joan studied the history of art as an undergraduate at Harvard College before earning her MBA at Columbia Business School. The combination of her artistic interests and her business experience has enabled her to create a line that marries her passions — beauty, individuality and philanthropy.

In 2003, Joan developed a way to encourage others to join her in support of educational and other philanthropic initiatives. Her model of giving 100% of the profits on each piece to the purchaser’s charity of choice challenges women to use beauty and fashion in a new way.

Joan’s jewelry is meant to be noticed and talked about as it carries the all important message that philanthropy is beautiful, personal and worth promoting.
