Karen Karch’s inspirations are often derived from the idea of contradiction. Karen Karch’s raw refined designs illustrate her mastery of juxtaposition and her ability to find beauty in the unconventional. Her designs explore the duality of the natural world by embracing imperfections and playing upon opposites: glamorous & gritty; luxurious & spare; dark & luminous; structured & organic.

All Karen Karch designs are artfully engineered to accentuate its specific gemstone or metal – Karen Karch architects each piece’s setting to bring out the stone’s brilliance, which is also achieved by her unique combinations of gemstones and metals. Black diamonds are set in 18 karat rose gold to illuminate their brilliance. Colorless diamonds burn bright when set against platinum’s cool luster. And champagne and cognac diamonds truly glow when surrounded by 18 karat white gold.

It’s this attention to detail that separates Karen Karch from other fine jewelry designers. She’s both an innovator and an artist. Not afraid to break boundaries or defy convention, Karen Karch jewelry reflects an edgy elegance rarely seen today.

Finally, every Karen Karch piece tells a story. Referencing both the past and the present (be it a historical, cultural or artistic period) results in timeless pieces – or as we like to say, Karen Karch’s modern heirlooms.
