Official Jeweler of The University of Southern Mississippi, Carter's Collective!

Introducing USM's official jeweler...

In 2022, Southern Miss Athletics unveiled a new partnership with Carter's Collective Fine Jewelry, as the official jeweler for The University of Southern Mississippi (USM)! This collaboration symbolizes a union of excellence, craftsmanship, and tradition, reflecting the spirit and pride of the USM community, as well as a full circle moment for the owner of Carter's Collective, Chae Carter.

Carter's alma mater

Chae Carter and several members of the Carter's Collective team are USM graduates. To this day, Chae is inspired by the university that taught her significant lessons towards becoming a female entrepenuer, so much so that she even founded a scholarship at USM. The "Diamond in the Rough Scholarship" provides a female student in business or marketing at Southern Miss with $2,500 each year, in the hopes to nurture her entrepreneurial spirit and continue her formal education.
