Clara’s passion for metalsmithing began in the jewelry studio during her undergraduate years at Dartmouth, where her passion for jewelry design was first ignited.

After leading a successful tech career following her Harvard MBA, Clara's heart remained dedicated to jewelry artistry. In her spare time, she would retreat to her workshop, crafting unique pieces that mesmerized those around her. Encouraged by admirers, she launched Clara Williams Company in 2001, turning her creative passion into a celebrated jewelry line that blends artistry and craftsmanship in every piece.

Clara is inspired by her travels, different cultures, and natural materials to design jewelry that facilitates individual artistic expression. To this day, her face lights up anytime she gets to share her dynamic technology with someone new.

Within her innovations also lies Clara’s commitment to sustainability. Each Clara Williams piece is designed to evolve with the wearer, not be replaced. A single ClaraClasp® necklace can shift from day to night or casual to formal with the simple snap of a new centerpiece.
