Karen Karch is known for her distinctive aesthetic and contradictory style, a world in which grunge and glamour merge to create fine jewelry designs that are at once precise and human with a weathered, worn-in finish. The designs balance of-the-moment influences with an everlasting appeal. 

 Karen's initial years in New York were spent at Parsons School of Design and immersed in the energy of the city in the 90’s. Prior to completing her studies, Karen's work was featured on MTV and in the print press. Upon graduation, her designs became available at leading retailers known for celebrating new talent, including Barney’s New York.

 Karen's first boutique, PUSH, soon rebranded as Karen Karch, opened in NoLita, a SoHo adjacent neighborhood, in 1996. Here she held court for her diverse clientele who offered endless inspiration enabling her to further carve out her niche.

Known for infusing her boundary pushing textures with precious materials naturally led Karen to apply this same revolutionary approach to bridal designs. Custom commissions arose and continue to be a significant part of her work today. 

 To better accommodate personalized appointments, Karen relocated her salon to Gramercy Park in 2011-2020. 

Karen now brings her three decades of experience to her online shop. Karen is available for custom design consultations, both in person and virtually.
