The K Jewelry is the brainchild of founder and principal designer Karen Lor. An ardent admirer of bespoke jewels and diamonds, Karen built her jewelry career from humble beginnings, taking inspiration from her name for the brand. The emphasis on the letter K reflects Karen's refined sense of style, taste, elegance, and aesthetic vision. As The K Jewelry's slogan states, the brand epitomizes elegance and class - values Karen seeks to embody through her creations.
Under the parent company L'Atelier de Luxe Ltd, a romantic French name evoking a dazzling and luxurious design studio, The K Jewelry was established following Karen's studies abroad in Australia, England, Paris, and Hong Kong. Having honed her expertise in custom jewelry design through courses at esteemed institutions like London's Central Saint Martins, the BJOP Academy, and L'ECOLE in Paris, Karen prospered in the jewelry business in 2016. Today, her offline showroom is located in Hong Kong's prestigious Central District, with an additional private and appointment-based space in Tsim Sha Tsui.
For Karen and her team, bespoke jewelry derives value from its exclusivity and uniqueness. Initially marketing solely through client referrals, The K Jewelry's customized pieces were accessible only to a select clientele. As the brand grew, occasional showcase events presented new collections while nurturing personal client relationships. Karen's discerning eye and passion for personalized luxury resonate with customers who appreciate exclusive, custom-crafted fine jewelry.
Having built a reputation for excellence in bespoke creations, Karen was inspired by her clients' admiration and support to begin designing her collections. Moving beyond exclusively custom pieces, Karen channeled her aesthetic into three distinct luxury lines - EDEN, GEOM, and POET.
Karen continues to unveil exquisite new collections that embody her design aesthetic. Her latest showcase, EDEN, takes inspiration from lush gardens, with delicate botanical motifs gracing each piece. Contrasting EDEN's natural beauty is the bold, graphic GEOM collection. Drawing from the sleek lines of Art Deco, GEOM's geometric forms make a modern style statement. Karen's third new offering, POET, uses symbolic objects like lace and bow to conjure a delicate, romantic feeling. Whether channeling poetry, nature, or architectural edge, these collections exhibit Karen's gift for translating themes into wearable art.
Moving forward, The K Jewelry's exacting standards will match the quality of its gems - only natural G color above, VS clarity diamonds, and 18K gold are used. Karen's contemporary yet non-mainstream approach manifests in the brand's meticulous artistry and ethos.
