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.
