DESIGNER BACKGROUND

About the designer
Karen Curtis grew up in New York City, where she began designing at an early age. She has worked with a variety of mediums, including sculpture, textile, fashion, metal-smithing and jewelry.

She studied both in New York City and in Florence, Italy, after which she worked as a fashion designer in New York City. With her creativity and the power of crystals, as well as the beauty and brilliance of gems, she began her journey into the world of jewelry.

About the collection
Since New York City is a center of sophistication, elegance and glamour, it is no surprise that these are the characteristics Curtis reflects in her jewelry and lighting collections.

Each piece of jewelry is delicately made and offers a special uniqueness. They are all handcrafted with Swarovski crystals mixed with sterling silver and/or gold-filled components. They are stylish and sophisticated. Many styles in the collection are made with rare vintage Swarovski crystals, making these pieces one-of-a-kind or limited edition; every piece comes in its own stylish container and includes a signature tag.
