Our Story

Designer William Everett's sense of adventure led him to the Dominican Republic in the early 1970's where he fell in love with the beautiful Caribbean island, it’s people, culture, and unique treasures.

In 1976 William and wife Rosemary began creating an original collection of fine jewelry, emphasizing these treasures; the beauty of the native Dominican amber, larimar and the rarity of Spanish coins from the 17th century shipwrecked galleons. With time, their collection evolved to include exotic colored gems, pearls, and diamonds all elegantly mounted in 18K gold.

 

Our shop in Altos de Chavon is closed as of October 2025. I have decided that after 45 wonderful years its time to slow down … .I thank the community of Altos and all of our amazing clients who have given us the inspiration and encouragement to do what we love to do. Creating jewelry everyday with the treasures of the Dominican Republic is a great joy and I plan on continuing doing so . Please continue to watch our website www.everettdesigns.com as I add new pieces and post information about occasional showings .
