About Kelacala Q, LLC
A passion for exquisite materials, a deep respect for centuries of artisanal tradition and a healthy dose of playful irreverence and artistic edge lay at the heart of everything we do at Kelacala Q. The company was created by artist/designer Lara Kurtzman in 2000 as an antidote to formulaic jewelry design and as an answer to the needs of real women and men looking for timeless original adornments and personalized fashion accessories to reflect their own unique characters and individual styles. By studiously avoiding much of what is wrong with typical mass-produced fashion (i.e. attitudes and preconceptions about who our customers should be, how they should dress or what economic demographic they should represent) the company has managed to create something truly extraordinary in today’s fashion industry: beautiful products imbued with independent beauty and creative soul… for a broad, diverse clientele.
At Kelacala Q we understand that there is a remarkable aesthetic alchemy that occurs when an extraordinary person is paired with an exceptional piece of jewelry. Jewelry and accessories unite the wardrobe with the wearer, providing the finishing touches and the personal flourishes that elevate, accentuate and define the wearer’s unique sense of beauty and personal style. At Kelacala Q we work to unleash the emotional power of that mysterious sensual phenomenon. Our jewelry and accessories are part of a creative dialogue with our customers that transcends dictatorial trend and confining categories, elevating the experience of adornment to a pure expression of personal identity and inner beauty. Everything we design we design with passion. Everything we make we make with love. It’s something our customers recognize and appreciate and it matters to us as much as it matters to them.
Like a working laboratory, Kelacala Q is constantly experimenting with new materials and techniques that push the boundaries of fashion and expand the possibilities of glamour and style. We create pieces for every kind of client: private individuals, retail boutiques and national chains. We’re also one of the best resources for anyone planning a special occasion: birthdays, bridal events, baby showers, bat mitzvah or for corporate gifts and special events. We have something in our collections for nearly everyone, and if there’s something you desire that we don’t have, we’ll make it for you custom. Whether it’s a one-of-a-kind custom piece, a personalized wedding collection, a boutique retail assortment, or a mass-market line for national distribution, Kelacala Q offers unparalleled service and direct access to our designers and artisans, ensuring that every detail is representative of what you need. And true to the company’s New York City roots, each and every design is made to inspire an empowering sense of individuality, rebellious glamour and timeless beauty.
