Description
After a successful career in advertising design, Kathleen Grebe set her sights to jewelry design. A forever fan of big fashion statements, Kathleen set out to create a new kind of bold. She built her own laser-cutting lab and began transforming flat sheets of material into jewelry. And from strong silhouettes, high contrast and unapologetic scale, Bold Standard was born. Bold Standard is known for both wearable art and word-driven jewelry— i.e. 'statement pieces' that literally say something. With a logo-like approach, Kathleen turns words into meaningful fashion statements, introducing typography with a sophisticated touch.
In the 1980s, Marilyn Loden, a management consultant, coined the term "glass ceiling" to describe the barrier preventing upward mobility in the workplace. The concept continues to be relevant. These earrings create a curious tension that’s sure to spark conversation. A favorite among women in male-dominated fields, this collection is known to motivate and empower. The fractured texture is carved into the backside with a laser cutter. These earrings work with your pulled-back hair, allowing light to shine through, or stand out beautifully against dark hair and skin. They're extremely lightweight, you'll forget you're wearing them—until you get all those compliments.
