Kacey K’s bold, stunning diamond-encrusted silver and gold monogram rings and necklaces is what everyone’s going crazy for! We featured Kacey K in a designer interview to get insight into how she’s gotten to where she is today, and what inspires her. Designing jewelry was something she always envisioned she would pursue. Her childhood in South Orange, NJ was enriched by her family’s thriving costume jewelry company, and from an early age she developed an enthusiasm for jewelry.
After graduating from American University where she majored in PR and minored in Business, Kacey applied her skills and education in her family’s business. She had a rich experience working for the company from this angle and it gave her insight into running a jewelry company and how the creative side of the industry is impacted by business and marketing. Kacey got invaluable experience from working in her family’s company, and when she felt she needed to spread her wings, she started her own high-end collection and has continued producing gorgeous, and eye-catching designs that are so beautiful. When we asked Kacey K what inspires her every single day, she enthusiastically responded: “My daughter!”
