Avatar Movie Review: by Katrina Kelly

I saw something special, something surreal, something sublime, something spectacular; Avatar the movie. I have seen it in 3-D twice now, and I will see it again. This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Going in, I only knew that it was directed by James Cameron and that it took 14 years to make. I had no expectations about the plot, or anything. I left feeling uplifted, hopeful and awesomely awestruck. It was glorious, majestic and the aesthetic ethereal beauty is unsurpassed in today’s mainstream film. Avatar is profound and quite thought provoking. Men prove themselves by actions, not words, and women kick some ass. There was a welcoming absence of lewdness and a needed abundance of love. They saw it and now I truly see it.

Katrina Kelly Jewelry New Collection Unveiling Soon!

Katrina Kelly Jewelry New Collection Unveiling Coming Soon!

Katrina Kelly Jewelry is gracing the covers of recent magazines and adorning beautiful strong women with fierce discerning tastes. The collection is in its year and a half début, and is receiving lovely accolades and praise. The designs are feminine and romantic heirlooms for the women of today.

The designer, Katrina started out yearning to be a fashion designer. She studied fashion, however gravitated towards a world of gems and precious metal, ending up with a Fine Arts degree in Metalsmithing and Jewelry Design. She then took her education to a higher level by studying jewelry with masters in Florence, Italy. When this classical training was complete, she worked under a few jewelry designers as a bench jeweler, received hands on experience at a Fine Turkish jewelry company and toiled in her familys finance company for a few years before launching this line.

The jewelry has its own definitive style and look-A hybrid or fusion of cross cultures-Taking in the fine intricate Italian mastery with the exotic look of Turkey, and then bringing in Katrina’s zealous fascination of French Baroque, Persian and Art Nouveau styles.

She takes cues and inspiration from her incessant travels, her respect of all cultures, and awe of divinity. Katrina states, “To aspire, to inspire and to be inspired. I aspire to inspire. I seek to inspire. My plight is to create a cohesive coalition of worlds for women; for the owner of my work to be inspired. My inspirations stem from ideas, travels, cultures, divinity, architecture, music, furniture, antiques and literature, epicurean escapes... I turn profound ideas into tangible decorative objects called jewelry. I hope that when women don my work they will appreciate that the designer was inspired. I hope that she becomes inspired, and all that see her will become inspired. And if nothing more, jewelry just makes us women feel pretty!”

The Katrina Kelly Jewelry Collection is enchanting and graceful. It has an antique, delicate and old world flair that is both modern and classic.

Friends are International Jewels

What is more uplifting and enriching than a work/play trip? Not much really… An opportunity to see friends and put my jewelry in a new store presented itself at the most opportune time. Katrina Kelly Jewelry was delighted to pick up a new store in Zurich, Switzerland and even more thrilled to get to visit it in person. Coincidentally, I have friends living in the area so it made the trip even more welcoming and enticing. After visiting the jewelry store in Zurich, I went to Geneva to stay at one of my best friend’s home, which is fittingly surrounded by glorious lush vineyards. Walks in these vineyards were quite celestial. She made the most delicious fondue-thank you! I trekked to CERN to try and unlock the key to the universe, without prevail-yet anyway. Then, Paris for cafes, fashion, to see another friend and attend a jewellery/accessories show. I was ridiculously overwhelmed at all the brilliant, well made and lavish designs that I saw this season; costume jewelry, fashion jewelry, fine jewelry, accessories, lace, lingerie, shoes, clothes… I am intensely inspired, rejuvenated and so anxious to design more collections!

Deep in The Heart of Texas: Katrina Kelly

Here are some pictures of the Texas Heart I know best-Houston, Texas- on a recent trip back. I have lived in Dallas, Denton and Houston. I have taught jewelry design in The Hill Country, and played extensively in Austin, Texas; the home of Whole Foods and one of the most beautiful lakes that I have ever seen. I do think it is in a Texans DNA to be pretentiously proud of being “TEXAN.” Thank you to all these Texans that take such great pride in their endeavors so that we can all enjoy; Kraftsman Bakery, Rice University for their oak alley running path, Croissant Brioche, Shivas Indian Food, Ruggles Cafe, Café Brasil, Domy Bookstore, Rothko Chapel, Cyclone Anaya’s, Alabama Bookstore, Roulas Nail Salon; And ALL Westheimer and Montrose Area local cafes, bookstores and shops. A trip home is never complete without going to all of my favorite places-Katrina Kelly

The Black Hills Harley and Gold Rush: Katrina Kelly

I have had a most unique invitation recently. It was an invitation to visit South Dakota. Sturgis, South Dakota, specifically; a beautiful land, where buffalo and Harley Davidson’s roam. Once a year, half a million plus motorcycle enthusiasts take great pride in attending a Legendary Motorcycle Rally here. They indulge in a camaraderie and admiration for open air and motorcycles. If one can see through the sea of chrome, the chrome eventually turns to gold and quartz. As a jewelry designer, it was the gold and minerals history that caught my attention. A gold rush in the late 1800’s enticed an influx of people willing to risk possible attacks from Sioux Indians to get their stake of gold. And then there is the second longest cave in America called The Jewel Cave, The Badlands, Crazy Horse, Mount Rushmore, Wild Bill…
