S3-12: Patricia Carruth, Third-Generation Jeweler, Commitment Designer and Storyteller

Patricia “Trish” Carruth is a third-generation jeweler, custom engagement ring specialist and owner of Your Personal Jeweler in Royal Oak, MI. Her exposure to the industry began as a young child in her grandfather’s jewelry pawn shop. There, Trish developed a fascination with engagement and wedding jewelry, and the stories that brought these pieces to the business. “I actually wanted to be a wedding planner throughout college … but then I planned my own wedding …,” she laughs. The first jeweler to design the Black in Jewelry Coalition’s Together by Design Award, Trish’s path is one of talent, resiliency and opportunity. Tune in to the Season 3 finale of the For the Love of Jewelers podcast for a heartwarming discussion about family, commitment and the passion to design.
