Meet the Designer

Krystle Brooks Fine Jewelry is a true family business rooted in the natural wonders of the earth and the shared passion of prospecting. Raised in Pennsylvania and now living in Charleston, the family has always been drawn to nature’s beauty. For nearly a decade, Zachary has been unearthing Herkimer diamonds in New York’s Mohawk Valley. On her first trip there, Krystle discovered her own deep connection to these extraordinary crystals—over 500 million years old, formed long before humans or dinosaurs, each one completely natural, never cut or polished. Family prospecting trips have become treasured traditions filled with laughter, discovery, and awe, strengthening bonds while gathering these radiant, untouched stones that now inspire every piece in the collection.

At the heart of Krystle Brooks are Krystle and her niece Alayna, who collaborate closely to design and bring each creation to life. Joined by the wider family, the business keeps everyone connected through learning, growing, and creating together. These pieces are made to be lived in, from 6am hot yoga sessions to afternoon beach days to 10pm stargazing, becoming part of daily rhythms and personal stories. Each design honors the earth’s raw brilliance exactly as it was found, crafted to last a lifetime and carried as a piece of ancient history through every moment.
