Get to Know Claire


How did you get your start in the jewelry business?

I started working behind the scenes in production back in 2018 and became enamored with the business. The jewelry and the quality and intricacies all drew me in but the amount I learned just by watching hosts and speaking with them in preshow made me know this was what I wanted to do. 

What are the most meaningful items in your jewelry collection?

A diamond necklace I received from my grandmother. It was her original engagement ring I believe and it’s so beautiful and sentimental. The first rings I bought myself at JTV and the rings my mother gave me in high school. I think all of these hold value because they represent several generations of women in my family and I hope I can keep passing these items down!

What is your go-to item from JTV to give as a gift?

Stretch Bracelet sets or stud earring sets! You don’t need to know sizes and even the shyest of jewelry wearers is going to throw on something as understated as a stud or as easy to throw on as a stretch or wrap bracelet!

Three jewelry items to bring on a trip?

Huggie hoops, stackable necklaces and bold cocktail rings

Three favorite places to vacation?

Hilton Head, Chicago and Chattanooga

Three fun facts?

I started out as a PA at JTV and got to work behind the scenes with all the other hosts! I am from Raleigh NC and moved here in 2011 for school but growing up my grandpa was band director at UT and my grandmother a Dean so I’ve been singing rocky top my whole life!

Favorite book genre and one example?

When I was growing up I loved all the fantasy books but now I love to learn about people’s lives and stories in autobiographies! I.e; Tina Fey’s Bossypants.

Favorite genre of music and one example?

I bounce all over the place with new pop hits, classic rock and cocktail jazz. I love currently: Chappell Roan, Whitney Houston, Tears for Fears and Frank Sinatra.
