After a long career in publishing at Esquire, Children's Television Workshop, Time and The New Yorker magazines, Pam left New York City life to explore her passion for design. As an art student in the 1970's she had apprenticed at a jewelry store appropriately called  "Om", learning to hammer and polish silver links for handmade necklaces, but had not done anything creative for many years. She decided to change her lack of artistic expression and set out to launch Pam Older Designs handmade jewelry in 2003.  Her style is elegantly designed jewelry for everyday wear, classic with a modern twist and always feminine!

Pam was featured in Oprah Magazine in an article about "Finding The Career of Your Dreams" in 2003 an article, she says "gave her designs credibility". She also sells to the Sundance Catalog, a special personal goal she was bent on achieving. Her work can also be found in the Arhaus Jewelry Catalog and in over 50 boutiques and museum stores.

In the December 2011 issue of The Wag, she is featured in a special article about  people in all realms who are passionate about what they do!

Pam has also been a featured artist in Westchester Magazine, The Bridal Guide, on More.com., and in a new book published by John Wiley called 287 Secrets of Reinventing Your Life: Big and Small Ways to Embrace New Possibilities.

Her jewelry is influenced by her travels to Thailand, Morocco, and India, her gardening experimentation, and the mix of gorgeous semiprecious gemstones she works with everyday.

Pam lives in Larchmont,  New York and can be contacted through her website www.pamolderdesigns.com or at pamolder@mac.com.
