About Karen Curtis – Handcrafted in Manhattan

Hi, I’m Karen — The Designer Behind Every Piece

I personally design and handcraft each necklace, bracelet, and pair of earrings right here in New York City. Most designs are produced in editions of five or fewer — and many are truly one of a kind.

Rare Discontinued Swarovski® Crystals

What makes my jewelry exceptional is my private collection of discontinued Swarovski® crystals — some dating back to the 1930s, 40s, and 50s. These rare cuts, colors, and formulas are no longer in production. The last time I sourced directly was in 2019, before Swarovski changed their crystal formulas and distribution.

The result is a distinctive vintage luster and character that simply cannot be replicated.

Worn by Norah Jones and featured at Saks Fifth Avenue, Henri Bendel, Neiman Marcus, and The Ritz-Carlton.
