Karen Walker Jewelry

Sterling Silver Jewelry


New Zealand-based jewelry designer Karen Walker celebrates the anti-It-girl: 1930s comic book super-heroines leading double lives, the debauched prom queen who sneaks out after curfew to run with the bad crowd, like Ally Sheedy's character in The Breakfast Club. Using the outsider as inspiration, Karen Walker accessories blur the lines between chic and street, luxury and non-luxury, dark and super-cute. Her collection of statement jewelry embodies an alternative blend of not-trying-too-hard cool.

The New Zealand-born designer's jewelry line is just as playful as her clothing and sunglasses. With the use of silver and gold and careful gem work, Karen Walker creates fun and edgy jewelry using animals, insects, and objects like cigarette butts as inspiration.
