Barry Kieselstein-Cord 1
In the mid-1950s, there were children who read comic books and built forts and then there was Barry Kieselstein-Cord, a now-critically acclaimed New York City–born jewelry designer whose early hobbies included carving totem poles.
In fact, Kieselstein-Cord was proficient at carving by the time he was eight years old. His hobby fueled what would become deep interests in Native American art and in the natural world around him. Kieselstein-Cord made more carvings, and eventually began to explore metalwork and craft jewelry in his teens. Today he creates rings, necklaces and other jewelry and accessories so divine that they are as much wearable sculptures as they are personal adornment.
Kieselstein-Cord studied at Parsons School of Design and the American Craft Institute. He has long been enamored of illustration, architecture, photography and other disciplines, and even as a world-renowned jeweler, Kieselstein-Cord has always considered his true identity as a sculptor. ”I don’t make jewelry; I do sculptures for the body,” he has said.
Kieselstein-Cord designed his first sterling silver collection in 1972, and a year later, the collection was presented for sale at Georg Jensen’s Manhattan flagship store. Kieselstein-Cord’s partnership with the legendary Danish silverware firm meant that his work would reach an international audience. It was also around this time that the designer began to work with fashion titans Perry Ellis and Calvin Klein.
By the late 1970s, Kieselstein-Cord had begun to integrate gold and gemstones into his work. During this decade he designed much-lauded belt buckles, and some of his most sought-after collections — including Crocodile, Pompeii and Borgia — followed a decade later. On today’s secondary market, those 1980s-era designs are enjoying a resurgence. Names like Henry Dunay and Kieselstein-Cord are being reappraised as icons of contemporary design.
Tom Hanks, Oprah Winfrey, Sir Elton John, Jack Nicholson, Barack Obama and Giorgio Armani are all known collectors of Kieselstein-Cord’s work. His designs have found their way into the Louvre in Paris and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

- Pair of Ruby Bead Diamond Rondelle Bangle BraceletsLocated in New York, NYThe unique beauty of rubies, prized for their vibrant color and rarity, captivates in any form, be they faceted or lustrous, cut or carved. Rubies have been treasured and revered for centuries, their intense red color a symbol of passion, love, power, and also life itself. Any discussion of the mythology surrounding rubies should begin in India, an ancient source for the beautiful red gemstones. The ancient Sanskrit word for ruby, ratnaraj, translates as “king of precious stones.” Ancient Hindus believed that the red color of the ruby came from an inner fire in the stone that could not be extinguished, making the ruby a symbol of talismanic protection and good fortune. Some legends said that if you dropped a ruby into cool water, it would boil. Perhaps the most extreme belief belonged to the Burmese. They believed that pressing a ruby into the flesh granted a person invincibility. This ravishingly beautiful pair of Contemporary Ruby Bead Diamond...Category
