Kathryn the Great

Kathryn Bentley Jewelry

The Bentley: a sign of luxury, sophistication, and fine craftsmanship.

Same goes for Kathryn Bentley’s fine jewelry.

After stints with the uber-talented Manon von Gerkan and Philip Crangi, she decided to go out on her own, and the results are drool worthy. Inspired by the Victorian and Edwardian eras, each design has an heirloom quality about it.

Stunners include cocktail rings made of gems like watermelon tourmaline and agate druzy, rose-shaped studs, 10-karat organic gold bands in various styles and shapes (eternity diamond, square, triangle, beaded), and scaley armor bangles.

Many pieces have the option of coming with or without diamonds — duh, yes.

That’s just how you roll.
