In 1986, Judy Stuart Carter became a 2nd generation business woman by purchasing “The Karat Patch”—using her mother’s store, Stuart Farm Supply, as collateral.
After earning her Graduate Gemologist degree while living in California, she was able to grow her small kiosk in Cloverleaf Mall to a corner location, re-naming it to what we know today as Carter’s Jewelry. Later, she opened a location in Petal, MS, where she and her husband Scott raised their three daughters. After many years in the business, Judy decided to pass the torch to her eldest daughter, Chae Carter (me!).
