KATHRYN - WHOLESALE MANAGER - 8 YEARS

“I started out with Stefanie at her first NY trade show. This event was an exciting leap into wholesale on the big stage of New York City. I was excited to be part of the ground floor and to help be part of building that piece of the business. Though this has been my primary focus, I seem to have my hands in many aspects of the business."

Q: What is your favorite piece to wear?

A: I LOVE the Gold Leaf 44" necklace! I don't like to admit this but I own 3 of them, LOL!! To really make a statement I wear one long and a 2nd doubled to give me 3 layers of beautiful golden dangly leaves and the 3rd wraps to a fantastic bracelet that is irresistible to touch.

HELAYNE - QUALITY CONTROL - 5 YEARS

Helayne's unfaltering attention to detail has earned her the nickname "Eagle Eye Helayne" around the studio. She carefully reviews each piece of jewelry our team creates to ensure that everything is top quality. Anything that she deems less than perfect goes in the sale bin for a future sample sale. Helayne is also the talented pottery artist behind our Vineyard Keepsake Bowls.

Q: What fun fact can you share about yourself?

A: I am a longtime Grateful Dead fan since 1980. Inspired by the beadwork at the shows, I taught myself how to make intricate seed bead jewelry and beaded barrettes.

ROBERTA - JEWELRY MAKER - 10 YEARS

"I am the earring queen! I like that the earrings require some extra skill to make and that they are portable. I can take my little jewelry making kit anywhere and have - to many beaches on Martha's Vineyard, on the ferry, on trips in this country and to Africa, Haiti and beyond when I travel in my work as a song leader and collector."

Q: What fun fact can you share about yourself?

A: I wake up before dawn pretty much every day in order to watch the sunrise over the Lagoon near my house.

JAMIE - JEWELRY MAKER - 10 YEARS

"I began working at Stefanie Wolf making jewelry in 2011. Eventually I became Production Manager, overseeing our piecework network and all jewelry production. Since I moved off-island to teach art full time, I am back to piecework again!"

Q: What's your favorite piece to wear?

A: I wear a lot of SWD earrings. Almost every day. There are soooo many different styles and colors to choose from that I always have the perfect match for any outfit, whether it's a dinner date or a hike with my daughter. My two favorites are the Swag Hoops and the Patina Twist earrings that are made with vintage brass components.

SHELLY - JEWELRY MAKER - 10 YEARS

Shelly is an expert at intricate details and we trust her with our most fussy designs. She's been creating with us for an entire decade!

Q: What's your favorite piece to wear?

“My favorite pieces to make are the 60 inch long Trilogy necklaces. When I'm not making these for work I like to make my own jewelry designs with tiny seed beads. I especially like making grapevine flower bracelets and spiral stitch necklaces. I also make quilts!”

KAITLYN - RETAIL ASSOCIATE - 2 YEARS

We are fortunate to have Kaitlyn joining us her third summer! She's an expert on our outdoor display setup as well as all the details of our vast jewelry collections.

Q: What do you like to do when you're not working?

A: When I’m not working or studying, I love to get outside, especially during the beautiful Vineyard summers. I love to kayak, hike, swim, paddleboard, and dozens of other activities.

Q: What's your favorite jewelry pairing?

A: I love layering necklaces especially with the island necklace.

KELLY - JEWELRY MAKER - 7 YEARS

Kelly's skilled hands have created thousands of pieces of jewelry for us over the years. She can turn a pile of loose beads into a tray of beautiful necklaces overnight and it was her dexterity that helped us make over 1,000 mask chains for you at the peak of the pandemic. She also has a really cute baby that's usually strapped to her.

Q: What's your favorite piece to wear?

"I have a few different colors of the Island necklace that I wear all the time (my gold/turquoise one is my favorite!) and I love my TN44 trilogy necklace that can also be worn as a bracelet."
