From Concept to Creation: The Vision of Vanna K

Vanna K is a leader in unique vintage-inspired jewelry. Everyone knows the quality and beauty reflected in each final design. But not everyone gets to see the creative process from which our own Vanna Kitsinian pours her vision onto paper, and turns inspiration into another unique, beautiful, wearable piece of art.

Featured here is the sketch of a vintage-inspired seed pearl bracelet. It looks almost like the final piece, but this is where it all begins... with the vision of Vanna. From her innovative ideas and concepts in fine jewelry, to her efforts to put these detailed ideas into each piece's design, her passion for jewelry is clearly reflected in every piece.

Vanna K employs the best in skilled artisans at our studios in Los Angeles. They take Vanna's sketches and turn them into the beautifully hand-crafted pieces of jewelry that you see.

The inspiration and foundation for this featured bracelet is intertwined harmony, which is something every one's soul is drawn to these days. Adorned with South Sea graduated pearls and hand-crafted diamonds, this unique and timeless piece is set in 18K gold. The pearls offer the deep sense of serenity and calm reflection, a piece of jewelry which would go with anything and everyone. You can see this beautiful rare design in its final form for the first time this Summer. It will be part of the Vanna K exhibit at the 2013 JCK Las Vegas Jewelry Show at Mandalay Bay. Come out and see us this Summer to view other original diamond jewelry designs by Vanna Kitsinian.
