ABOUT US

KAIA Jewelry was created by New York designers and long time friends Dara Kaplan and Stephanie Flugman. Galvanized by their combined love of travel, natural gemstones and history, the diverse inspirations blend together to create KAIA’s worldly aesthetic.

The designers equally pay homage to the glittering city lights and electric energy of Manhattan, while simultaneously drawing inspiration from the unrefined beauty of nature. Although they appreciate the high gloss glamour that the metropolis has to offer, the two friends always go back to basics, noting Jackson Hole, Wyoming as one of their most cherished destinations.

​

KAIA Jewelry boasts a series of minerals, from lava rock to diamonds, blending earthiness with great sophistication. KAIA’s aesthetic is derived from marrying the simple with the complex, globally sourced naturally occurring elements with semi precious stones and fine gems. The juxtaposition of their love for the natural and the luxurious are the foundation of KAIA.
