About Us

• Carroll Collection of U.S. Eagle Rings, aka Carroll Eagle Rings, is an online jewelry store featuring exclusive American patriotic eagle and military rings showcased by jewelry designer, Mike Carroll. Carroll's U.S. eagle rings are masterfully crafted in the USA in Chicago, IL, using the art of lost wax casting to achieve finest jewelry and museum quality standards. Carroll and his wife, Maribeth are the owners, operators and manufacturers of their exclusive line of American eagle rings. Made in the USA, with offices in Chicago and Watersmeet, MI. Carroll created his first design in the cockpit of an airplane at 24,000 feet. Carroll came up with the idea to create rings with an eagle motif over a dozen years ago during a flight between Chicago and a small town in Florida. “I used to fly the Chicago/Florida route on a regular basis,” he said. “As most pilots would agree, long flights are really ‘hours of boredom punctuated by moments of terror'. I actually sketched my first design during one of those flights – the boring part.” Carroll said he made his first ring for himself. Without a formal education in jewelry making, he enrolled in local classes to perfect his first design. He worked with some of Chicago's top jewelry master crafters and designers. "Most jewelers focus on popular 'fashion' designs. They were helpful and non-threatened by my original eagle designs." His 'hobby turned business' and started taking off as family and acquaintances responded to his 'Great Seal' ring in 1999. He began his business, Carroll Collection and set up shop on his web store in 2000, Many of Carroll's designs were inspired from the eagles found on bank buildings, post offices, old coins and badges. With names like 'Liberty', 'Republic' and 'Patriot', the rings were hand-sculptured to commemorate periods, icons and organizations of the United States. An Illinois native, Carroll's jewelry line is limited to over 30 eagle ring designs, incorporating a variety of eagles styled after well-known Americana. “I've always been interested in symbols of the United States. I started to frequent antique stores looking for images of eagles from old currency and historic military buttons,” he said. “I picked up an old police badge in Florida from the turn of the 19th century that appealed to me.” The ring he named Liberty features an eagle similar to the one depicted on that badge.He felt compelled to create a top quality ring design for his family and friends in the US Marine Corps. Carroll boasts Marine to be 'The Finest USMC ring out there. Period.' "Our military designs are not typical of other military styled rings on the market. I wanted to design military rings with classic and strong imagery depicting the symbols of the American bald eagle as specific to each branch of the Armed Forces. I wanted to design my military rings so that a person could continue to wear and pass it down to future generations as a tribute to the history, culture and heritage of The United States. My eagle ring collection salutes the dedicated men and women who serve(d) in the Armed Forces, and also recognizes the everyday citizen, who loves their country and is proud to show it," says Carroll.
