IS YOUR JEWELRY FROM HAVANA?
NO! The designer’s mother is! The company is named after the inspiration for our first pieces. Everything on the
website is handcrafted by the designer herself here in the good old USA and her first designs were created for her mother,
the Jewel of Havana!

City Transit Strike. "I was making holiday gifts for family and friends back stage and stranded cast members who needed last
minute gifts began stopping by and purchasing some of my creations. It was so wonderful to have people respond so
enthusiastically to something I love doing.” Look for Jewel of Havana this year at Broadway opening nights and the Tony
Awards!
