Caroline Chartouni of Caroline C was the recent recipient of a 2015 AGTA Spectrum Award for “Astra,” a finely crafted ring of 18K gold featuring a 24.16 ct. star sapphire accented with diamonds (8.08 ctw.)

This is the third consecutive year Ms. Chartouni has won one of the coveted awards. This year she won in the Classical-Gem Diva category. Her passion for gemstones and her love of design are expressed in every piece of jewelry she produces. A lifelong artist and designer, Ms. Chartouni has been designing jewelry for many years under the Caroline C brand (www.carolinec.com). “I don’t design dreams, I bring dreams to life,” she says.

“Astra” and the other Spectrum Awards winners’ pieces will be exhibited at the AGTA Show in Tucson, AZ February 3-8, 2015.
