“A JEWEL OF THEIR DREAMS”

Knowing that custom high jewelry was her talent and calling, Kia launched her eponymous brand, Kia Schwan, in 2020. Starting small, Kia began designing custom pieces for friends. Her Swiss eye for detail and perfection, high jewelry expertise and artist’s eye for sculptural design and color, made her pieces an almost instant hit among the most discerning of jewelry clients.

 “All of the pieces I make are deeply personal custom pieces for my clients. I feel honored that they trust me with their stories, I love getting to collaborate with them and be part of their lives for a little bit, while we create a jewel of their dreams.”

 Kia embraces her passion for one-on-one interaction with clients to create truly personal and unique high jewelry creations. One of her specialties has become breathing new life into heirloom pieces, repurposing existing stones into new settings, and transforming them into new creations that can once again be passed down to the next generation.

 “Most of the details in jewelry that make a piece exquisite often can’t really be grasped just by seeing it. It’s the combined skills of everyone who touched the piece along the way of it’s creation - the thousands of hours of experience and expertise of every single craftsperson involved, that culminates in a final jewel. My jewels are not to be kept in a vault but to be felt, to be worn and to be loved.”
