Meet The Designer

 

Hi there! I'm so glad you're here!

My name is Carolina Sanchez and I created Nori Joyería to share my favorite tropical-inspired gold and gemstone designs — pieces that capture the feeling of an endless summer and make every day feel like a getaway.

Born and raised in the Caribbean, I’ve always been surrounded by the warmth of the sun, the rhythm of the ocean, and the effortless beauty of island life. But it wasn’t until I moved to New York City — where I lived for seven years as an advertising executive—that I truly came to appreciate the laid-back, vibrant spirit of the Caribbean and Puerto Rico, where I lived most of my life.

I loved the energy of New York City, the friendships I built, and the lessons I learned both personally and professionally. But my heart was always drawn back to the island’s golden sunsets, lively culture, and breezy way of life.

In 2018, I returned home, taking on an incredible marketing role. The slower pace allowed me to reconnect with my roots—enjoying local flavors, sunny days, and the relaxed elegance of island living. Inspired by these experiences, I began crafting my own jewelry, blending golden tones with natural gemstones reminiscent of the sea, sky, and earth. What started as a personal passion soon blossomed into Nori Joyería.

Today, I design, make, and handpick each piece from my home studio in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Every collection reflects the magic of island living—timeless, radiant, and effortlessly beautiful. I hope that when you wear a Nori Joyería piece, you feel a little sun-kissed, a little free-spirited, and always glowing. 

Welcome to my world of tropical elegance.
