Designer Spotlight: Jane Kaye Jewelry

by | Jan 6, 2017 | Fashion

Launched in 2016, Jane Kaye Jewelry is a fine jewelry collection designed and curated by Jane Kaye. Jane draws inspiration for her designs from the techniques and motifs used in antique jewelry. She will combine, for instance, Australian Opals with Rosecut Diamonds, or Freshwater Pearls with Colored Sapphires. Set Cushion Cut Stones in both Black Gold and Rose Gold, reminiscent of the silver-topped/gold backed technique that was prevalent in the Victorian era. Many pieces are also convertible. The 3-in-1 Earrings, for example, can be worn three separate ways, similar to “Day and Night” Earrings that were common in antique designs. Jane blends this antique influence with a modern flair, resulting in pieces that are not only captivating to the eye, but that can be worn with ease and layered to express a unique, personal style.

A lover of fashion herself, Jane believes that when it comes to jewelry styling, there are no rules. Rather than storing your jewels in your safe, experiment with different ways to wear your pieces. Mix designs that are set in different color golds. Stack multiple bands on one finger or pair those Rose Cut Diamond Earrings with a pair of jeans. A white blouse and a leather jacket for a casual yet sophisticated style.
