The unique styles seen on this website originate from Carissa Grothman’s desire to continuously challenge the common perception of shape, function and fit. Her designs reflect her ability to alter ordinary shapes into eye-catching works of quality art without compromising comfort. One of the original qualities of pieces in the Carissa G. Belle collection is the incorporation of rubber (a popular industrial material not commonly used in jewelry) to create the element of versatility. The friction yet elasticity of rubber enables Carissa to provide consumers with the option to adjust the jewelry to determine their own style and size to ensure a perfect fit. These extraordinary elements are an important inspiration to Carissa Grothman, a Savannah College of Art and Design graduate, and will surely influence products of Carissa G.Belle to come.
