Finding the balance between must-have, on-trend pieces that will also endure the test of time (er, fashion cycle) takes a special skill and intuition, which we recently viewed in the form of Erica Klein’s jewelry collections. With the right mix of style, materials, and a distinct aesthetic, Erica Klein of Erica Klein jewelry designs has managed to create eclectic fashionable pieces that tell a story, at accessible price points.
Inspired by Victorian style, animals, vintage toys, handmade weaves, and organic forms, Klein forges a new jewelry identity with her brand that channels nostalgia yet breathes new life and identity into every piece. With a variety of precious and semi-precious materials, Klein produces well-crafted exemplars of modern jewelry that indeed make a statement without being overpowering. Beginning to gain serious editorial traction, the brand has been featured in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, Time Out New York, People Magazine, and on “The View.”
