Our mission at the recent Las Vegas annual shows was to find a fun, fashion designer line. We searched through hundreds of incredible designers at Couture, Luxury and the JCK show. Our relentless quest was rewarded when we discovered the designs Lauren K and we believe that you will be delighted as well.
Lauren K Collection is comprised entirely of handpicked gemstones, crafted in 18 karat gold, and finished with delicate micro pave. Each stone is carefully selected for a variety of reasons. In fact, very few are ever chosen for their unspoiled beauty. Instead, most stand out for their characters and flaws which give the finished piece its own distinctive personality and unique look. Lauren Ks gemstones are always the star of the show. Nothing in the collection is mass produced, creating pieces that speak to each individual buyer.
Every piece of the Lauren K Collection is proudly crafted in New York City. The collection is feminine, but with a bit of an edge, innovative, yet on trend with the latest fashions. The bohemian chic designs feature an abundance of color rich in character, like tourmalines, labradorite, opals, emeralds, and opaque diamonds, among other striking gems. Long layered necklaces, rings in brushed gold with gemstones in earthy hues, striking one-of-a-kind pendants in textured gold, and rose-cut sapphire and diamond stacking rings are staples in the continuously evolving collection. The surprisingly price-conscious line is a profusion of tempting creations, ranging from stylish daywear to exquisite statement pieces.
The designs notably utilize unexpected combinations of gems and color palates, creating jewelry that is both unpredictable and dramatic. The collection is broad enough to showcase pieces that are timeless, yet chic, glamorous, and effortlessly elegant. The line is largely comprised of one-of-a-kind pieces.
To say that Lauren inherited the family jewels is an understatement. She is the fourth generation to run the prestigious N. Zaidens Co., a leader in the fine jewelry arena for over 100 years. During her college years Lauren began working alongside her grandfather learning not only the mechanics, but also the artistry of fine jewelry. She continued her interest in the company during law school and soon after graduation realized that the family business was not only in her blood, but also in her heart.
Lauren began working under her grandfather full time, and after his retirement, took over as President. After only two short years, she indelibly carved her niche in the family tree by launching the Lauren K Collection. Her inspiration for the line was not from a particular stone or setting, but instead, the women she wanted to reach with her designs women who want feminine, beautiful jewelry that they can buy for themselves and wear everyday like their favorite perfume. Unlike other lines, the Lauren K collection is not made for a jewelry box; it is designed to complement a womans lifestyle. The collection premiered in 1997 and was immediately well received. Lauren is committed to evolving the line while keeping in mind the ever-changing lives of the women who bring her designs to life. To that end, new pieces are constantly being made, and the collection continuously expanding.
With prices starting around $800, the Lauren K collection is definitely one to consider. Please drop by to check out her exciting collection of rings, earrings, bracelets and necklaces.
