About the designer
Baubles, beads, jewels and vintage glass have always fascinated Kirsten. Jewelry design has been an artistic pursuit of hers since the early '90s. At first, she only designed jewelry for herself, but soon began taking private commissions. She has been honing her craft ever since.
Inspired by all things bedecked and bejeweled, from the runways of Paris to the avant-garde to the classic styles of the old world, Kirsten handcrafts her jewelry with a wide array of stones, gems, fine metals, shells and much TLC. She's a charm aficionada and frequently shops antique stores and markets for vintage confections to use in her jewelry.
An English major in college, a voracious reader and an inherent wordsmith, Kirsten has strong ties to the art and publishing worlds, having served as an editor at several publications, including art&antiques magazine. It was here that Kirsten fell head over heels in love with the art world, finding amusement in the likes of Joan Miró and Andy Warhol, tranquility in studying works by Egon Schiele and Edward Hopper, and inspiration in varied periods such as Art Nouveau, Art Deco and the Renaissance. She continues to write for art&antiques as well as other national art-, fashion- and travel-related magazines and media outlets in print and on the web.
