  • About the Designer

    Designer Alice Woods founded ABW Designs on the belief that jewelry should tell a story. Growing up in Connecticut, she spent countless hours exploring her grandmother's trunks filled with elegant clothing from the 1920s and 1930s. Those treasured afternoons sparked a lifelong appreciation for history, craftsmanship, and the enduring connection between fashion and the stories we carry through generations.

    Years later, while preparing for a formal event, Alice found herself with the perfect dress but no jewelry that felt quite right. She rediscovered a strand of amber her mother had given her years before and transformed it into a new necklace. When strangers repeatedly asked where they could purchase it, she realized she had discovered more than a one-of-a-kind accessory—she had found the beginning of ABW Designs.

    Founded in Connecticut and now based in Charleston, South Carolina, Alice draws inspiration from the rich architectural, artistic, and cultural traditions of both New England and the American South. Working primarily in 18K gold vermeil and sterling silver, with luminous pearls and thoughtfully selected gemstones, she creates timeless jewelry distinguished by refined detail, exceptional craftsmanship, and lasting beauty. Many pieces are handmade in the USA and designed to be worn often, gifted thoughtfully, and treasured for generations.

    Celestial Circle Necklace

    A signature design from the Constellation Collection, the Celestial Circle Necklace celebrates the quiet beauty of connection. At its center, a softly brushed 18K gold vermeil circle symbolizes wholeness, continuity, and the paths that bring us together. Delicate faceted gemstones trace the chain like distant stars, adding a subtle touch of color and light that draws the eye to the sculptural focal point.

    Available in a variety of gemstones, including blue chalcedony, each version offers its own distinctive character while preserving the timeless elegance of the design. Elegant enough for everyday wear yet distinctive enough for special occasions, the open circle creates a modern silhouette that layers beautifully or makes a refined statement on its own.

    Thoughtfully designed and handmade in the USA by ABW Designs, the Celestial Circle Necklace is a timeless expression of balance, craftsmanship, and enduring style.
