Pamela Zamore

Pamela Zamore spent seventeen years running her own interior design firm in Boston before shifting into jewelry around 2014, first working in silver before moving the collection to 18 karat gold around 2023. Her designs pull from a lifelong collection of 1970s gold jewelry, antiques and decorative arts, translated into pieces with heavy texture and dimension rather than smooth, polished surfaces.

Jewelry

Zamore's background in interior design is not incidental here: she has described approaching a piece of jewelry the way she once approached a room, thinking first about texture, dimension and finish. The gold work carries a rough hewn, decorative arts quality that reads more like a small sculpture than a typical fine jewelry piece. That link between two very different design disciplines is the throughline across her collection.

More Jewelry

These pieces are made by Zamore's design team in Rhode Island, the same collaborators she has worked with since her earliest silver collections, in a state with a long manufacturing history in American jewelry. Her personal shepherding of each piece through fabrication is part of how the brand describes its process. The 1970s glamour reference point remains visible in the scale and boldness of the gold here.

Our honest take

A former interior designer moving into jewelry is not a common career pivot, and it shows in pieces that prioritize texture and form over conventional polish. The brand's finalist nod for the Tiffany and Co. and CFDA Jewelry Designer Award suggests the industry has taken the shift seriously rather than treating it as a hobby project. It is a collection for someone who wants jewelry that reads as sculptural first and shiny second.
