About Cara Jones
Cara's love affair with beautiful and sparkly baubles was evident at a very young age. According to her family, Cara was reciting which birthstone corresponded to which month faster than she could master her two times multiplication tables; the fact that Cara would eventually design jewelry for herself and CJ Sardi was a natural (and inevitable) path.
"Before I started creating my own jewelry, my personal collection contained many beautiful and original pieces," states Cara. "But, many of them were not suitable to wear for everyday-especially when I was working and going to school. I wanted to find equally original, beautiful and fun jewelry that could pair well with jeans and a t-shirt or a sexy dress." A picky consumer by nature, nothing on the market really appealed to Cara, so she started designing for herself. "Soon," she remarks, "strangers were approaching me, asking me where I had purchased my jewelry. Thus, CJ Sardi was born."
When not designing for CJ Sardi, Cara chases after her twin Yorkshire terriers, Jake & Ellie, and feeds a very expensive handbag and shoe habit. A graduate of Boston University with degrees in art history and public relations, Cara resides on the Jersey Shore.
