It All Started with a Jewelry Box
We handcraft both heirloom transformations and ready-to-wear jewelry collections for YOU - the fashion-forward woman who celebrates the past. Putting the air back into your heirlooms, we help you send them sparkling around the necks of the next generation! Join us in the joy of transformation and the beauty of new life, merging your story and your style into every accessory you wear.
Our brick and mortar destination is a Deco pink jewelry box of sparkly baubles and blooms, where creativity is bursting around every corner. Our parlor of modern-vintage pop shares space with the beautiful mess of our maker’s studio, allowing you to feel connected to where the creative magic happens! Dora Mae Jewelry is a glowing beacon of all that’s right in the jewelry world! Whether in person or online, escape here into the glow of all things girlie, gorgeous and glam!
Founder Ansley Highland’s grandmother, Dora Mae, whose jewelry collection inspired Ansley’s first heirloom transformation, would be very proud of all of bright color and even brighter connection.

Transformation Stories That Sparkle ✨
Don't just take our word for it – here's what our customers say about their jewelry transformation experience.
My daughter and I are obsessed with how beautiful her 'Generation' ring turned out! She will always have a piece of her grandmother's with her.
Thank you Dora Mae for making this such an easy and fun experience to treasure forever. Best sweet 16th birthday present!!!

“This is a piece inspired by my grandmother’s antique and vintage collection. It’s something I will wear every day and pass on to my children. It looks like it was made from literal fairy dust and I couldn’t have imagined anything more beautiful!!!”
"Each of these original rings had so much meaning to me and people in my family. It brings me such joy to have these stones reimagined and worn regularly instead of hidden at the bottom of a jewelry box!”
"Ohhhh, how am I supposed to part with this?! I love it so much. It’s so delicate but still has so much depth and personality.”
“Each of these original rings had so much meaning to me and people in my family. It brings me such joy to have these stones reimagined and worn regularly instead of hidden at the bottom of a jewelry box!”
“My sister and I inherited a beautiful ring from our grandmother, but it was too big for either of us to wear daily. Ansley and Sarah made it easy and fun to turn it into two unique pieces. I wear mine every day and love it—it’s a piece we’ll each pass down to remember her by!”
“This emerald feels totally modern, but it’s got an old soul—passed from my Abuela’s hands to mine.”
I absolutely love rewarding my daughter with Dora Mae Jewelry. Each piece tells a story and brings so much joy!
