Katrina Kelly is a jewelry designer based out of New York. She shares with us her love for architecture and the reason she designs jewelry with and old world flair.

What inspired you to design jewelry with an antique influence?

I believe it was inevitable for my designs to have an antique influence. I grew up surrounded by antiques. My parents exposed me to a mostly classical ideology. They are aficionados of French furniture, Persian rugs, Venetian glass and so many other collectibles. My father especially has an aesthetically astute eye. My parents instilled this love in me at the age of 10 when they bought me a French Louis XV Mahogany bedroom set for my birthday. Growing up, almost every Sunday we went to church then went to the antique market. I was taken to estate sales and antique auctions. They could not get enough “antiquing”.
