Lee Garone lives in Lake Oswego, Oregon with her husband and two teenage daughters. Trained as an interior designer, Lee’s opulent Georgian-style home has been featured in two publications. Her specialty is English and French style.

However, while visiting friends at their beach homes on the Oregon coast, she became interested in elegant ways to decorate with seashells. Her friends, birthday was coming up and she wanted to give a special gift, something with her initial. After a little experimentation, she found the combination of seashells, sparkling Swarovski crystals, and vintage jewelry (gathered from years of going to estate sales} to be a winning combination. As other friends quickly requested them one after another, she knew she was on to something special. One friend’s request was to incorporate a beloved grandmother’s brooch, which made it a heartwarming keepsake.

Lee’s design principle is “too much is never enough, meaning every surface and detail is considered. Nothing is overdone, but everything plays a role in each individually orchestrated piece. Each Sea Jewel initial is an original piece of artwork, signed and dated, and copyrighted by the designer. They are available in two sizes, small (approx. 6 inches) and large (approx. 9.5 inches).
