About Alderman Ford

A lifelong love of design and jewelry arts led Margaret Alderman Ford to return to her passion.  She now has a vibrant and diversified business creating necklaces, bracelets and earrings combining precious and semi-precious stones, pearls and antique medallions and watch fobs. The result is striking one of a kind pieces of jewelry.  While the type of stones may be the same, the medallions, fobs and gold or sterling silver clasps always set the pieces apart.

After accompanying her father, a career military officer, around Europe and the United States, Margaret launched her career in the fashion industry in 1968 while a freshman at the University of South Carolina.  She started out behind the costume jewelry counter for J. B. White, part of the Mercantile Chain, and the rest is history.  From designer to buyer to store owner and manager to couture design,  Margaret's experiences span the industry.

During her forty plus years in the fashion industry, Margaret embarked on a search for spirituality culminating with certification as a Spiritual Director from the Oratory of St. Philip Neri and the Institute of Formative Spirituality of Duquesne University.  She passes her spirituality and passion for jewelry in each custom designed piece.

Margaret's jewelry follows time honored designs and not trends.  Margaret welcomes the opportunity to work directly with clients to create that special piece or design.
