It All Started with a Jewelry Box

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was born when founder Ansley Schrimsher discovered her grandmother Dora Mae Pemberton's collection of amazing but outdated antique jewelry.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

Your Transformation Journey

Every piece tells a story. Let's write your next chapter together.

Collaborate

  • "Bring in your heirlooms and let's transform them into modern pieces"
  • "No heirlooms? No problem! It's not too late to create one to pass down! Future generations will thank you!"
  • "Set up a Sparkle Session appointment so we can dream together!"

Create

  • "Dream Together – We'll spend the first couple weeks exploring your vision and sharing design ideas for modernizing your family jewelry"
  • "Define Your Budget – Once you fall in love with a design direction, we'll work out a budget that fits your needs"
  • "Bring It to Life – Your story guides our creative process as we transform your vintage pieces into modern jewelry you'll love"

Celebrate

  • "Your custom jewelry transformation takes 1-8 weeks, depending on the design's complexity"
  • "We keep you updated and involved throughout your redesign journey"
  • "Your finished piece perfectly blends your family history with modern style, making it beautifully wearable for generations to come"
