About

Founded and creatively directed by Karen Claveria in Orlando, Florida, Trinket Traces is a demi-fine jewelry brand creating one-of-a-kind, handcrafted pieces that celebrate individuality, resilience and self-expression.

My passion for jewelry began long before Trinket Traces existed. One of my most cherished pieces is a gold adjustable flower ring gifted by my parents when I was a young girl. That small trinket became a lifelong reminder that jewelry can hold meaning far beyond its shine.

When my favorite jewelry & accessories brand closed, it sparked a vision: to create a space where creativity, craftsmanship and personal storytelling collided. In 2020, Trinket Traces was born. Since then, every piece has been thoughtfully designed to carry both beauty and significance, whether worn daily or for life’s defining moments. Over time, the brand has evolved, now offering custom pieces so that each wearer can have a trinket that is as unique as their story.

After my last collection in 2023, life shifted. Loss, change and quiet seasons led me to step away. But like the people I create for, I grew and transformed. Now I return with a bolder, moodier and unapologetically true vision. Trinket Traces is about more than jewelry — it is about wearable reminders of your truth, armor for every chapter and celebrating the story only YOU can tell.

Every trinket is truly one-of-a-kind, with no duplicates and no restocks. Let the piece you choose — or a custom creation made just for you — be a marker of where you are, where you have been and where you are going.

Wear your story. Trace your journey.
