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.
