Opalized Wood Aquamarine 18 Karat Gold Necklace by Lauren Harper

Everything about Lauren’s jewelry collection exudes strength, passion and a touch of fierceness. Lauren channels these “guiding pillars” in all aspects of her life, from the way she raises her three young daughters to be independent and strong minded, to the way she approaches designing spectacular pieces of jewelry for her clients. But it is more than just independence that drives Lauren. It is the connection between femininity and strength that breathes life into the jewelry, giving it a completely unique sensibility. Putting on one of Lauren’s edgy, yet feminine pieces of jewelry is like putting on a crown. It gives you power. It says, “I’m beautiful, but wholeheartedly different. I’m feminine but confident. I make my own choices and I make my own success.” Lauren sees the world through a lens of patterns and shapes. Her jewelry is often a reflection of what may seem to others to be the tiniest or insignificant of details. The turn of a vein in a leaf, a pattern on an umbrella passing by, the dimension of a chandelier, ripples on water… The chaos and randomness of these beautiful details often leads to timeless and original design. Ultimately, her purpose is to take these elements and make them into a piece of jewelry that has never been done before. She is only happy with a design if she can honestly say she has never seen anything like it.
