Clean Lines

Los Angeles-based Rachel Katz launched her eponymous jewelry line, Rachel Katz Jewelry, two years ago where her designs reflect a multitude of influences and inspirations, including jewelry worn by her mother and grandmother. Katz also has a thing for architecture and math, which is evident in each piece of her modern, clean and geometric line. Bold, powerful, timeless and sophisticated all describe the wearable art that can be worn from day to night, casual to dressy. Combining vintage detailing with geometric forms, every piece is designed to inspire and empower its wearer. The standout style complements any look and always makes a statement. Fortunately for us stylish girls, the price point is reasonable- the brass line ranges between $150-400 and fine jewelry starts at $350. And for the uber fancy girls, various luxe items can shoot up to $10,000 a piece.

Katz has always been a fashionista, even throughout her prior work background, which included entertainment, commercial real estate, and advertising. Then one day while trying to replicate one of her mother’s pieces of jewelry, she decided to create her own. Quickly, Katz cultivated a stellar celebrity following with the likes of Anna Kendrick, Charlize Theron, Jessica Alba, and Lea Michelle. And you’ve probably seen her pieces everywhere lately, such as the large triangle earrings Taylor Swift wore in her new video, the slim bond cuff Gwen Stefani sported, the diamond cage ring on Jennifer Lopez, and the diamond midi dagger ring on Zoe Saldana. Katz manufactures her jewelry locally in downtown LA- with a studio in her home- and sells her baubles off her website, to private clients, at exclusive trunk shows, and in selected boutiques. www.rachelkatzjewelry.com
