Jewelry for the women who…  

…wear the motor oil stained coveralls and the perfect red lip.

…rock a push-up challenge as effortlessly as they knit an afghan.

…understand their femininity is not determined by how soft OR strong she is, but by the fact that she can choose to be both. She can be emotional and analytical, outgoing and shy, fighter and nurturer.  

Chroma Rocks handcrafts delicate yet bold jewelry that complements the multifaceted women’s blend of fierce and feminine.

Part armor and part adornment, each piece of jewelry is designed to reflect these complexities and remind every woman that she has the power to conquer life’s battles and live life by her own rules.

I’m Carmen Michelle,

the owner of Chroma Rocks. I believe:

What you wear affects your energy.

Women are multifaceted goddesses.

There is power in color.

Now

Design and create jewelry.
Curate jewelry in an art gallery.

Re-brand to Chroma Rocks Carmen Michelle Jewelry (in progress)

What Chroma Rocks stands for:

People come to me because they’re…

…Tired of the same old soul-less mass produced jewelry.

…Searching for jewelry that feels made for them and reminds them they are a confident, badass woman.

…In love with statement jewelry, but prefer designs that don’t make them feel like they’re lifting weights.
