Born in Orangeburg, South Carolina owner Karen Roache attended and graduated from Hampton University. Shortly after graduation she began making jewelry and started Another Phase by Karen Roache. Largely self-taught, Karen developed her own unique style and methods. Inspired by nature's simple beauty, she uses uncommon elements and extraordinary stones to create and compliment her works of art.

 Many of her pieces are one of a kind. All items from her collection are personalized and have variations in character and form, which truly makes all items - even those duplicated- unique and special. Nothing is mass-produced. You will find stones from all parts of the globe brought together to give her collection a universal appeal. "I want people to look at my jewelry and see the treasures that exist naturally" 

Currently, Karen exhibits nationally and sells to better boutiques, galleries, and museums all over the United States and internationally.
