Kelly Louise doesn't have small hopes for her jewelry designs – she's dreaming big. “I desire to be to the new millennium, what Art Nouveau was to the turn of the century!”

Kelly graduated from Rutgers University in 2002 with a bachelor’s degree in fine arts. She also did independent study work at Northern Arizona University and The University of Pretoria, South Africa. Her company, K. Louise Designs, is currently located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Kelly unveiled her one of a kind jewelry pieces in April of 2003, with collections inspired by nature, landscapes, fantasy and various cultures of the world. “Being connected with nature is a significant part of my life, and I enjoy incorporating that into my designs. Traveling to other countries has allowed me to enjoy other cultures and environments which has been a tremendous source of inspiration.”

With the knowledge gained from her 2002 thesis on blown glass and metal, Kelly is able to incorporate many other materials into her K. Louise line: blown glass, vintage glass, and recycled glass from local and world venues. She strives to transform her visions into “specialized designs which encompass an array of styles, materials, and inventive concepts.”
