Carmen Eyssautier is a jeweler, crafter, socializer, appreciator of all things red, recovering geologist and arm chair travel enthusiast. After working summers in a jeweler's silver-smithing studio on the shores of Lake Superior, Carmen decided to go to school to become a geologist in order to "explain how pretty things [gemstones] are made." While working as a geologist for several years post-graduation on decidedly un-pretty things [cement and concrete] she went back to school to pursue a degree in international education while also dabbling in metal-smithing. She now works at a small liberal arts college in the Pacific Northwest in the office for study abroad and lives vicariously through students. She moonlights as a jeweler and general "crafter."
Carmen describes her jewelry as equal parts pretty and utilitarian. Her jewelry is multi-functional; understated enough for everyday wear, yet unique enough for special occasions. Carmen is thrilled to be involved with the Soiree Project as a way to be a part of - and give back to - her new community. She is grateful to the other members of the Soiree Project for their vision, creativity and inspiration.
