Lauren Kane Jewelry

Lauren Kane, founder of Lauren Kane Jewelry creates pieces of art for fashion forward women who are looking for artistically designed jewelry unavailable anywhere but in Lauren’s studio. Lauren’s unique sense of elegance enables a woman to express her own creativity through her designs. Lauren guides her customers through the selection process so that they may feel confident that they are selecting or designing the perfect piece of wearable art for everyday, a special outfit, or for a special occasion. Lauren knows her mission is accomplished only when her client is overjoyed with their selection and feels simply gorgeous wearing their new piece of art. This happens when the client’s essence has been captured in Lauren’s creations. As a jewelry artist, Lauren deeply believes that her creations begin their own special life once in a client’s hands. Lauren is passionate about creating unique, sophisticated pieces. She knows her work will be worn frequently, often reminding her clients of important memories of previous times the pieces have been worn. She has a special customer who travels all over the world and enjoys telling Lauren which countries various pieces have traveled. When her client comes home, the simple act of putting her jewelry on brings back great memories of her trip.While having no formal training in jewelry making when she founded her business in 2003, her life experiences, travels, reading, and research all led to Lauren evolving into the artist she is today. The best kept secret of this self taught education is that Lauren grew under the premise of “anything is possible” rather than industry claims of “you just don’t do it that way”. This freedom has enabled Lauren to invent techniques that are new to jewelry making. Inspiration for the creation of her art comes from the individual beads themselves. Lauren loves to scour the internet, catalogs and bead shows looking for striking shapes, colors and designs. As she holds a focal point bead in her hands, she begins to visualize a completed piece of jewelry. She will then assemble the colored accent beads, the clasp, the findings and create an initial design. She will work and rework the design, often over the course of several days, until the piece starts to act as a visual magnet. Once the piece pulls her in and won’t let go, she knows she is done!Providing a quality product is of paramount importance to Lauren. She ensures her ability to do this by using Swarovski crystals, Swarovski pearls, pure sterling silver beads, pure 14kt gold beads as well as specialty hand made beads from fellow artists. When her high powered job on Madison Avenue unexpectedly came to an end in late 2005, she decided to take charge of her life and start the business her late husband had long encouraged her to start. In memory of her husband, Lauren donates jewelry for auction at fundraisers of local charities. Lauren welcomes you to visit her studio and experience the journey her creations take before you come to own one.
