A different approach

JEWELRY AS A SACRED EXPERIENCE

CORA was founded on the belief that the human instinct to adorn is precious and should lead to sacred experiences. The unique story of each crafted piece provides the wearer a conduit to the divine by harnessing the power of the most refined elements on earth. With pride in its origins, our jewelry confirms individualistic identity through connections to our ancestors, our legacy, our land, and our highest self. 

ETHICAL SOURCING

CORA strives to create value in meaningful connections throughout the supply chain, and believes each step of the creation process should be transparent and enriching. Through deep investigative research we access the most ethically available resources in the industry. Along with offering low impact materials and traceable Fair Trade mine to market gemstones, CORA is the first Jeweler in Arkansas to be an official Fairmined Gold Licensee.

We are female owned, seek out female industry partners, and 10% of all profits go back into our community to support abused and neglected children through CASA of Northwest Arkansas.

YOUR DESIGNER

Heather Ann Younger is a conceptual designer and visual artist working at the intersection of gemology, fine art, and storytelling. She holds a Graduate Gemologist diploma from the Gemological Institute of America in Carlsbad, California. Her work draws connections between the microscopic details of gemstones and the vastness of the cosmos, inviting a deeper awareness of time, beauty, and transformation.

Heather received her Master of Fine Arts in Visual Art from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where the desert landscape inspired her ongoing exploration of how natural forces mirror the emotional terrain of the human experience. Her practice is rooted in reverence—for the earth, for craft, and for the stories we carry.

Through CORA Fine Jewelry and beyond, Heather creates with intention. Her pieces are made to last, to be felt, and to serve as quiet reminders of where we come from and what we hold sacred.
