Recently added to Ann’s collection of remarkable jewelry is the work of Clara Kasavina.  Clara and her husband, Misha Berger, a sculptor, design Clara Kasavina Jewelry in their studio in New York.  It’s hand-sculpted right there in the studio, and they create with semi-precious stones and Swarovski crystals.   Their jewelry is worn by celebrities for red carpet events and their studio is commissioned frequently by top-tier fashion designers (such as Ralph Lauren) to make signature elements of new fashion collections.   We’re happy to offer an edited collection of key pieces that we know you will enjoy adding to your jewelry collection.
