Naples native Caroline Dixon founded Joules by Design with her love and passion of unique handmade gemstone jewelry. In collaboration with her brilliant mother and best friend Juliette Dixon, the duo strives to create pieces with character, soul, and of course, energy. Having lived in Singapore and traveled to numerous countries, the Dixons have developed a unique international style. They describ
e their jewelry as a combination of earthy, eclectic, and fresh. CD & JD draw from their personal cultural experiences when designing each unique jewelry piece. Their designs embody the beauty of nature through the use of varying textures, techniques, and materials. Designs are sometimes simple, others bold, but all designs showcase her talent and craftsmanship. Caroline graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University with a Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry; she likes to emphasize the "arts" of her degree. During her stint in the STEM world, she learned that the word joules is a metric term for a derived unit of energy. Joules by Design’s vision is to create jewelry for the soul that encourages positive and bright energy by using the finest semiprecious gemstones and beads.
