Molly Hollingsworth Bio

Molly Hollingsworth, Designer, Goldsmith, Web Designer, and CAD Specialist — Jewelsmith Durham NC

Molly Hollingsworth

Designer + Goldsmith + Website Designer + CAD Specialist + Social Media Specialist 

Molly believes in the power of CAD (computer aided design), web design, and social media. She's been at Jewelsmith since 2000 and became an employee-owner in 2022, when the studio transitioned to employee ownership. She loves the collaborative community of creative people and envisions adding as many skills and as much knowledge as possible.

Molly has been shaping metal professionally since 1995, when she started her career in the jewelry industry. She holds a BFA from East Carolina University and has continued building her craft through hands-on education, including the Stuller Bench Jeweler's Workshop (2014), AGS Conclave (2015), and the Portland Jewelry Symposium (2018).

Climbing the steep learning curve of CAD is her proudest accomplishment as a goldsmith. She has a passion for figuring out difficult design and logistical puzzles, but on the side, also enjoys traveling to places with clear blue water, photography, and playing puzzle games.

Her favorite gemstone is the demantoid garnet. Its color is reminiscent of Caribbean water, and it's super sparkly.
