Background and Career

Design Philosophy

Baker & Black's jewelry is characterized by:

• Bold and glamorous designs
• A retro vibe with a unique, original look
• Emphasis on craftsmanship and originality
• Use of 18 karat gold and fine gemstones
• Commitment to social and environmental responsibility

Personal Approach

Raised in the suburbs of Chicago, Megan now splits her time between New York City and remote locations. She enjoys the contrast between the bustling Diamond District and serene canyon hikes. This duality is reflected in her designs, which defy easy categorization.1

Megan encourages her clientele to cultivate their own style, whether daring, subdued, or a combination of both. Her approach to jewelry design focuses on creating pieces that will be appealing both now and in the future, with the goal of crafting jewelry worthy of being passed down through generations.1
