Carole Tanenbaum was born and raised in New York and now resides in Toronto, Canada.

Her trained and critical eye helped her to cultivate a stellar selection of over 20,000 pieces, forming a cohesive collection which is now known worldwide. Her vast inventory includes such greats as Dior, Chanel, Lanvin and Sherman. Every piece is hand selected with an eye for design, creativity, strength and exceptional workmanship.

With twelve grandchildren, three sons and a very active travel schedule with husband Howard, Carole still exudes the same passion she has always had for vintage costume jewelry. Wherever she goes, she is on the hunt for the next great WOW factor in accessories. In her own way, Carole has transformed vintage jewelry into wearable art, of which she is the curator.
