About

Hi, I'm Kristen! I created all the pieces on this site from my apartment in Upper Manhattan.

I've been in love with jewelry for as long as I can remember. At five years old, "stringing beads" became my favorite hobby. I sold my first line of earrings, bracelets, and necklaces to a local boutique as a sophomore in high school.

After earning my bachelor's degree in Journalism, I was lucky enough to cultivate a career that combined both my passions. I started out as a jewelry copywriter for Barneys New York, and later joined the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), where I wrote short books on some of the world's most remarkable gemstones. After earning my Applied Jewelry Professional and Graduate Diamonds diplomas from GIA, I worked as a PR manager for a leading Hong Kong-based jewelry artist.

I see jewelry as art and believe that every piece has a story to tell. My collections reflect the things that inspire me most -- light, art, nature, and New York City.
