General Info

Molly McNamara Jewelry Designs specializes in collections that impart individuality, exuberance, and a love of New Orleans. Her pieces are distinctively original but at the same time have a universal appeal. Their elegance retains a spirit of playfulness. Although she considers herself part of the contemporary craft movement that’s forging new American traditions, Molly McNamara’s collections are informed by a degree in fine arts, a period of arts study in France, and formal training in metalwork. They are influenced by painting masters as much as they are by a child’s sense of fun and wonder. For over a dozen years, McNamara has sold her jewelry at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival in the contemporary crafts section. At other times of the year her collections are available at select retailers and through individual phone orders. McNamara continues to design new pieces and collections, and she herself has become one of the more renowned jewelers of her city.
