Kirk Kara is introducing new non-bridal fine jewelry in honor of its 135th anniversary.
Pasadena, Calif.—As Kirk Kara celebrates 135 years, the bridal brand is ready to try something new, again.
The California-based jewelry brand, best known for its engagement rings and wedding bands, is introducing new non-bridal fine jewelry designs for the first time in 20 years.
For the last two decades, the company has been exclusively focused on bridal, said CEO Angela Karaguezian.
Her father, Kirk Karaguezian, previously had created a lot of non-bridal fine jewelry, but when Angela joined the family business, the company made a strategic shift toward branded bridal, a rapidly growing segment at that time, she said.
“Now, with shifts in the bridal industry and evolving consumer preferences, we’re excited to expand beyond bridal again and offer more fine jewelry pieces for our collectors who’ve been asking for it,” she said.
Kirk Kara CEO Angela Karaguezian is at the helm of her family business, which was founded in 1890.
Unveiled at the recent JCK Las Vegas show, the new fine jewelry designs have been added into existing bridal collections, including “Stella,” “Charlotte,” “Pirouetta,” “Angelique,” and “Lori.”
The pieces are meant to complement the engagement rings and wedding bands, featuring the same signature elements, like hand-engraved details and milgrain edges.
The baguette stones in select designs make for clean, architectural lines, said the company, balancing romance with modern design elements.
