It All Started with a Jewelry Box
Dora Mae Jewelry was born when founder Ansley Schrimsher discovered her grandmother Dora Mae Pemberton's collection of amazing but outdated antique jewelry. Instead of letting these treasures gather dust, she reimagined them with current style and modern materials – and just like that, a passion was born.
Since 2008, Ansley has been helping people transform forgotten family treasures into pieces they'll actually wear and love. There's nothing better than seeing the joy on someone's face when they see their grandmother's brooch transformed into a necklace they'll wear every day.
"We often say our jewelry has deep meaning and even deeper magic. The meaning comes from connecting with family history. The magic comes from breathing new life into these treasures and sending them sparkling on the necks of the next generation." – Ansley
