Welcome to Carnelian Knoll -- creations by Julie Siegmund
I have been designing and creating distinctive necklaces, bracelets and earrings on Manhattan's Upper West Side since 1996. My work features rare, artisanal and vintage glass beads as well as semi-precious stones, fresh-water pearls and silver and gold vermeil pieces handcrafted in Turkey, Thailand and Bali.
A trip to India in 1990 inspired me to play with color. The original owner of Liberty House, a fabulous (but now closed) store on the UWS asked me to create items for her to sell in the store. With her encouragement and support, in 1998 I started to create and sell full time. I began with home shows, setting up in corporate lunchrooms and participated in a few juried crafts shows. Since 2004, I have participated in at least one of the big NYC holiday markets. I have found my home at the Union Square Holiday Market (mid-November through Christmas Eve) and at the Grand Bazaar (many Sundays in the Spring and Fall). During the summer months, you can often find Carnelian Knoll in northwestern Connecticut.
This website gives a sampling of my work. Please peruse and enjoy. But to see the full collection, I invite you to visit me at a show (see the show page), in my studio on the UWS or schedule a FaceTime or Zoom visit.
The Carnelian Knoll collection includes hundreds of necklaces, earrings and bracelets in a wide variety of styles, sizes, colors and prices. With over 28 years of experience creating and selling my work, I have learned to help my customers find items that delight from among the vast Carnelian Knoll offerings. Please contact me to let me help you pick out the perfect pieces for yourself and for those on your gift list.
Thank you for your interest in Carnelian Knoll and for visiting this site.
Stay healthy and well-adorned,
Julie
