About Jewellery by Karen
Jewellery By Karen is a couture-inspired limited edition fashion jewellery line catering to fashion divas not afraid to turn heads. The eclectic collection launched by Canadian designer Karen McFarlane in 1996 showcases pieces that range from the Victorian-style collar necklaces adorned with rhinestones and filigree detailed chandelier earrings, to more contemporary looks, like chain belts, chunky bracelets, chainmail bibs and oversized cocktail rings.  Traditional materials like freshwater pearls, crystals, and semi-precious stones are set against exotic materials like horn, aluminum and leather. For bold pieces that never go out of style, the Jewellery By Karen line of day, evening and bridal designs is a must see.

“Creating beautiful things has been a life long passion,” says McFarlane. “ A love of art, architecture and travel, as well as fashion, has influenced my design skills. I am inspired by the materials before me and prefer to use multiple elements to add richness and a feel of luxury to my pieces. Collaboration with fashion designers, stylists, retailers, media, and customers, has been very rewarding. In spite of work days that stretch into the night, I feel most fortunate to be able to indulge in my passions and continue to develop as an individual as well as an artist”
