Kay Konecna Studio

PHILOSOPHY Founded by Kay Konecna at the end of 2019, Kay Konecna Studio is home to small series, one-of-a-kind, collectible jewellery and objects. Kay creates jewellery for the discerning, the unorthodox and the extravagant. Our mission is to inspire women to create their own distinctive personal style not just in the way they look but also in the way they think of themselves and navigate their careers and personal life. Being comfortable with being different might start with something as small as wearing an extraordinary pair of earrings on the daily. SAVOIR-FAIRE Each item is entirely made by hand in our London studio. To create my collections, I design a delicate, layered pattern with miniature holes marking the beginning and the end of each line. A flat sheet of metal is the starting point for all pieces. I pierce the pattern by hand, layer by layer and only then start forming the volume. I never use laser or water-jet cutting to create my jewellery and I take pride in making everything by hand. As precise as I am, you can find evidence of hand work in each of my pieces if you look closely. I developed this unique technique while I was studying at Central Saint Martins and it has since became synonymous with Kay Konecna Studio. I only use recycled metals and fair trade, conflict free gemstones and diamonds. I have developed close relationships with diamond and gemstone cutters and dealers from all around the world and I source most of the stones directly from the source, supporting small businesses in developing countries. I myself can guarantee the origin of each stone I use in my jewellery. I am able to produce only a limited number of pieces each year and I take immense pride in keeping my production small. I split my time between working on collections that are available for purchase from the website and creating bespoke pieces for our Studio customers.
