Monica Rich Kosann 18 Karat Gold "Adventure" Hot Air Balloon Charm Necklace

Monica Rich Kosann’s collection of 18-karat gold and sterling silver fine jewelry is rooted in the idea that every woman has a story to tell. Monica’s lifelong love of art, design and photography led her to become a fine art portrait photographer. The personal nature and heirloom quality of her portraits informed her interest in jewelry design and to the brand's singular creation and re-invention of lockets and charm oriented styles as modern heirlooms for a new generation. Today her collections are offered in her own boutiques in New York & Los Angeles, her lifestyle shop at Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus and over 100 fine jewelry and specialty stores. For the Monica Rich Kosann brand, the jewelry design process is driven by one question: “Is the style both contemporary and timeless... can a woman treasure it in 20 years as much as she does today?” Monica says, “Living and cherishing stories is universal to us all. My lockets are here to capture a woman's special adventures and moments. The poesy and charm collections celebrate the story of each woman's life—in a way, they are an ongoing tale of her everyday world and can inspire and empower her” Each woman who wears Monica's pieces is her own storyteller.
