Caridad Chao Foo (non-native artist)

Caridad has been making jewelry for over 16 years. A lifelong entrepreneur and businesswoman, she originally began her jewelry journey importing and exporting pieces in the 70s. She also ran her own business as a beautician and dress-maker. Caridad now creates exquisite and elegant jewelry designs using high quality materials. She specializes in natural stone and pearl jewelry, and imbues each piece with her innate style. Her creative spark reveals itself with every medium she engages with.

For us here at Raven’s Nest, Caridad is Grandma. She’s been a guiding light in the lives of the Steinbrueck children and worked in the store for many years before retiring in early 2023 at the age of 92. She continues to make jewelry for the store and we are so grateful to have her as a part of this journey.
