Meet Rosemary Corte
Rosemary Corte is a creative designer and driven entrepreneur. Rosemary’s spirit and enthusiasm are a reflection of her deep Southern roots. In 2015, she took a leap of faith to pursue her passion to create Harvest Jewels.
A graduate of Ole Miss with a concentration in design and art history, Rosemary began her career in interior design in Atlanta. She later worked in fine jewelry gaining extensive knowledge in watches, stones and metals, which peaked her love of jewelry. Using the lessons she learned in her early career as well as those she gained supporting and managing numerous family-owned businesses, she has grown Harvest Jewels from a small design outlet with a few pieces to an extensive jewelry line being featured in retailers across the country and a thriving online store.
A native of Greenville, Alabama, she has made her home on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay for the last 20 years. A loving mother to Jay, a fifth-generation farmer, and Hallie, an equestrian, Rosemary’s commitment to her family and giving back to her community have been the foundation for her success. After cancer touched her family’s life, Rosemary was inspired to create a necklace gifting proceeds to the American Cancer Society. Known for her timeless, chic pieces and unique use of metals and gemstones, she gains inspiration from her life experiences, surrounding farmland, her daughter’s equestrian passion and the South to design Harvest’s stylish and sophisticated everyday diamond collection.
“Every Harvest Jewels design reflects an intentional handcrafted inspiration. To each one I have added our signature diamond clasps and materials I love... from gemstones and diamonds to leather and precious metals. Our real passion is creating pieces that are classic and timeless. The design goal is a piece that takes you from jeans to cocktail and anywhere in between.”— Rosemary Corte
