About MACADAM®

Born in Paris with an early love of gem and jewelry, it was no surprise that our founder and designer made her way into the jewelry industry after moving to New York.  She started at a New York icon —with a temporary role that turned into years at Tiffany & Co. and gave her a first glimpse behind the world of glamourous jewels. She was hooked instantly by the magic unfolding on the jewelers’ benches and began her studies to become a Graduate Gemologist. Eventually, she joined the iconic French jeweler Van Cleef & Arpels in New York as a product specialist for High Jewelry.

Motherhood has been a constant thread of her life and career. As she set out to launch MACADAM®, the reality of parenthood and more broadly of multitasking individuals, became prevalent in the philosophy to apply high jewelry craftsmanship to wearable, daily, modular jewelry. 

MACADAM® is deeply rooted in its New York City urban environment. The name itself is a play on words as an ode to New York City where its creations are designed and crafted. The streets that define the city’s grid are lined with macadam —a compound made of stones and tar to make roads— and inspire MACADAM® jewelry designs made of its own iteration: one made of precious stones, luscious 18 karat gold and platinum.
